#Should i add anything to my christmas tree water install#
Renowned for holding onto its needles the best of all Christmas trees, so you won't need to worry about cleaning up needles over the festive period, particularly if you want to install your tree in early December. There are four main types:ġ) Nordmann Fir - the most popular type of tree in the UK with thick, soft, glossy needles that are dark green on the top and blue-green on the underside. Next, you'll need to decide what type of tree you'd like to buy. Avoid the temptation of choosing a tree that's taller than what you really need as you'll just end up having to cut off part of the base and potentially remove some of the lower branches, which may spoil the shape of your tree. Alternatively, if you are looking to order a Christmas tree online for delivery from our Staffordshire nursery, include the measurements in the comments when you place the order and we'll pick the perfect tree for you. If you're looking to visit a nursery or Christmas tree farm to choose your tree, don't forget to take the tape measure with you so you can check your preferred tree is actually the right fit. Once you've decided on a location in (or outside) of the home, use a tape measure to size up the space you have available and note down the dimensions. Corners can be a good place as this keeps your tree out of the way of knocks and bumps and allows you to choose the best side of the Christmas tree to display. The location you choose should be away from heat sources such as radiators and fires and ideally close to a wall plug socket if you will be looking to have lights on your tree.
Soil-based John Innes No 2 potting media is ideal.Christmas tree care starts in the planning phase before you've bought your tree as you'll need to decide where you want to put it, then choose a Christmas tree that's the right height, width and type for you. If it looks unhappy, put it back outsideĮither plant the tree out in the garden after Christmas, or (if you want to bring it indoors again next year) grow it on in a container, moving it into a bigger pot annually until you reach the maximum size that can be moved comfortably (about 45cm (18in) diameter and depth). Do not keep living trees in the house any longer than 12 days, but be guided by the tree.Bring trees indoors as late as possible – the weekend before Christmas is ideal.To reduce stress and damage to living trees, display them in a cool room.With care, cut trees should last about four weeks.Check daily and top up the water when the level drops.Place in a stand with a well of water in the base.When you get the tree home, saw 2.5cm (1in) off the bottom with a pruning saw.
When displaying trees indoors, avoid placing them too close to a fire or radiator, as this will cause excessive moisture loss and needle drop. Remember to ask your supplier where the trees come from, and to choose a locally sourced and grown tree, or one that has at least been grown in the UK rather than abroad.
