Choose a fresh tree: Select a healthy tree with vibrant green needles and a strong fragrance.
Cut the base: Trim 1-2 inches off the tree's trunk to expose fresh wood, improving water absorption.
Water regularly: Keep the tree stand filled with water, ensuring it never goes below the base of the trunk.
Avoid heat sources: Place the tree away from heat vents, radiators, and direct sunlight to prevent drying.
Use a tree preservative: Add a commercial tree preservative to the water to extend the tree's freshness.
Mist the branches: Spritz the tree with water regularly to maintain humidity and reduce needle loss.
Monitor room temperature: Keep the room cool to slow down the drying process and prolong the tree's life.
Remove damaged branches: Trim any dry or damaged branches to maintain the tree's overall health and appearance.
