Keep your tree hydrated – Just like a house plant, your tree needs water to survive. They should be kept in water at all times. Trees can consume a large amount of water each day so make sure you are regularly checking its water supply.

Make sure the temperature is just right – Don’t keep the tree too close to your radiator or fireplace; these tree’s survive best in cold conditions. Changes in heat will dry out your tree quickly and cause it to die.

Stick to the basics – Brands will try to sell you expensive foods or treatments to keep your tree alive, when in reality all your tree needs is fresh water, just like it would do outside of your home.

If you follow these five tips, your Christmas tree should look fabulous throughout the festive season!
