Tips before you go out to buy the tree

The first thing to consider is the basic question: natural or artificial tree? While the latter is certainly the easiest and most practical option for many, the vast majority opt for a natural one. However, remember that it requires some care to last the entire season and can even be reused for planting in the garden after the holidays, for example. On the other hand, choosing the right spot is crucial, considering both the width and height. The diameter of the branches at the base shouldn't exceed the maximum width of the space, as, although they can be trimmed, this can disrupt the tree's symmetry. Guidelines for Choosing the Right Christmas Tree : Size. Once you've taken the measurements to choose the right tree for your needs, it's time to get started. If you have a 2-meter ceiling, for example, we recommend choosing one that's between 1.50 and 1.70 meters tall. Ideally, leave at least 20 centimeters between the top and the ceiling. How to Plant the Tree. If you've opted for a natural tree, you'll know how important the pot is. In this case, we advise you to first place some stones at the bottom (for drainage) and then a layer of soil or compost. Insert the tree trunk and add more soil until it's full. Tree maintenance. Trim any overly long branches and choose the one where you'll place the star, the centerpiece of your decorations. Use the trimmed branches to decorate the rest of your home. As for watering, don't let the soil dry out. If it's warm where you live, a great tip is to place some ice around the base of the tree. Now that you know the main things to consider when choosing and caring for your Christmas tree, it's time to get started. Don't let this year catch you unprepared again.
