Give your Christmas tree some water, and make sure its topped up<\/h3>\n
Once you\u2019ve popped your tree in its stand, always add water. While its roots may not be there anymore, the tree can still absorb water. This will help keep it hydrated and help to keep its leaves on its branches rather than on your floor.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re able, sawing off a few centimetres from the trunk. A little like you might with flowers from the supermarket. It will get rid of any hard sap and make it easier for the tree to drink.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t put your tree near a heater!<\/h3>\n
It\u2019s used to the cold outside, so avoid, at all costs, putting your tree near a radiator that you use regularly. The heat will dry the tree out and it will very quickly wilt.<\/p>\n
Caring for Christmas trees in pots<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s a similar message for Christmas trees in pots,<\/a> keep hydrated and don\u2019t over heat. A good thing to do with your tree in a pot is to acclimatise it to the heat before you bring it indoors properly. Could you pop it in a sheltered garage for a few days before you bring it into the front room?<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve finished with it inside, do a similar thing to make sure it isn\u2019t shocked by the cold.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve finished with it the first year, best to repot it in a bigger pot to give it some space to grow. And if you\u2019re leaving it in the garden, make sure its in a spot with lots of light.<\/p>\n
