When decorating your home, of course, no artificial tree can compare to a real one in terms of smell and the atmosphere it creates.

However, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said, due to dryness and high air temperature indoors, live fir trees and coniferous bouquets quickly lose their appearance and aroma.

Just a couple of days after installation, the needles begin to fall off.

In such a situation, specialized additives for cut coniferous plants will help.

If you add this product to the water where the branches or the tree itself will stand, they will retain their color and aroma much longer.

These products contain one third of carbohydrates, which prolong the life of the tree and prevent the needles from falling off.

They also contain acidity regulators to soften water, boric acid, which prevents the development of microorganisms and aromatizes water, and fir oil, which additionally aromatizes the solution and fills the air with phytoncides.

Thus, thanks to the means discussed in this article, you will have a chance to significantly extend the life of cut coniferous plants.

Earlier we talked about what to do with a potted tree so that it survives until transplanting into open ground.
