Caring for your Christmas
tree:
When you get
home:
- When a tree is cut, sap closes the trunk, much like a cut
flower, therefore a new cut is needed so that the tree can
drink water. Make a fresh 1" cut and place the tree
immediately into water.
- Never let the water
level go below the stump, or a new cut will be
necessary! Watch the
water level carefully for the first 24-48 hours, as this is
when the tree will drink the most water.
-Make sure your tree is not by a heat source, such as a
heating vent or TV, as this can dry out the tree needles.
-Ensure all lights are in good working order, with no
frayed cords. ALWAYS turn Christmas tree lights off when you're
not in the room. NEVER use candles or any other flame near a
Christmas tree.
