1.Give It a Fresh Cut

Before placing your tree in its stand, trim about 2–3cm off the base of the trunk.

This removes any dried sap and helps the tree absorb water more effectively.

2. Keep It Hydrated
Your tree will drink a surprising amount of water in the first few days.

Top up the water and try not to let the base of the trunk dry out. A well-watered tree stays fresher for longer.

3. Choose the Right Spot
Position your tree away from direct heat sources like heaters, fireplaces, as these can dry it out faster.

4. Maintenance
Sweep or vacuum fallen needles. If you notice browning or dryness, your tree may be too warm or under-watered.
