Right Light = Bright Blooms

The most crucial factor in maintaining the freshness of a Christmas tree is providing it with sufficient water. Freshly cut trees can absorb water through their trunk, and keeping the water reservoir filled is the most important aspect of tree care.

Keep It Warm, But Not Too Hot

There is no conclusive scientific evidence that adding sugar, 7UP, aspirin, or other substances to the water significantly prolongs the freshness of a Christmas tree. The tree’s ability to absorb water is primarily driven by its natural processes.

Water Wisely (Don’t Drown It!)

Adding sugar or a sugary beverage like 7UP to the water can potentially create an environment that encourages the growth of bacteria and mold in the tree stand. This can be counterproductive and could lead to faster needle shedding.

Humidity is Your Friend

The best practice for keeping a Christmas tree fresh is to use clean, fresh water in the tree stand. Regularly check and refill the water reservoir to ensure the tree remains well-hydrated.
