Keep Your Christmas Tree Fresh

Keep your Christmas tree from drying out and keep it alive longer with these simple, natural ideas.

Let's do this!

Nothing beats a fresh Christmas tree during the holidays.

It simply looks and smells amazing, especially when it's surrounded by my homemade cloth gift bags.

1. Pick the Right Tree

Fir trees are known for holding onto their needles the longest, so choose a fir tree if possible for the best lifespan

2. Trim that Trunk

This will allow the tree to absorb more water and stay healthy for a longer time.

3. Water Immediately + Daily

Add water every day--you want a minimum of two inches of the trunk to be submerged in water at all times.

4. Wait to Decorate

I know it’s tempting to throw on those decorations right away, but it’s best to wait. Let your tree drink some water for 4-5 hours to hydrate those needles.

5. Choose a Quality Tree Stand

Ratchets your tree in place using a foot pedal, and it holds 2 gallons of water so your tree never dries out.
