While some people choose an artificial tree to celebrate the New Year, there are still those who are not going to give up the tradition of installing a live tree in their apartment.

However, in this case, it is worth remembering that without proper care, the tree will quickly lose its needles.

If you intend to prolong the life of the main symbol of the New Year holidays as long as possible, follow the following tips.

First of all, do not rush to bring a newly purchased spruce from the cold straight into the apartment. Instead, find a place for the coniferous tree with a temperature of +5..+15 degrees, where it could adapt a little to the change in conditions.

Once the tree is in the apartment, do not rush to straighten its paws, so as not to accidentally injure them. This process will happen by itself, as soon as the tree accepts the temperature of the room in which it is located.

The location of the tree’s installation is also of great importance for its “viability” – it should be located away from radiators and other heating devices.

Before installation, do not forget to cut off the lower part of the trunk. If this task is beyond your capabilities, at least free it from bark.

After this, you can place the tree in a container with water, to which you should first add an aspirin tablet, salt and sugar.

If you do everything correctly, then you will only need to periodically moisten the tree by adding water to the container and spraying it from a spray bottle (if there are no electric garlands on it).
