Many people want the purchased tree to stand as long as possible and please the eye not only on New Year's Eve itself, but also in the first days and even weeks of the coming year.

Therefore, according to the recommendations of experts, you should choose those varieties that are resistant to needle shedding.

Among these, it is recommended to pay attention to hybrids of Norway spruce or decorative firs.

If possible, it is better to store the tree on the balcony, in a cool place, placing it in wet sand, but it is also possible without it.

Experts say: the longer the tree stands in the warmth before the New Year holidays, the shorter its lifespan.

Therefore, decide for yourself what is more important for you: to enjoy as long as possible before the New Year celebrations or after them.

Remember: any spruce tree will stand in a warm room for no more than half a month.

By the way, in order for the New Year's beauty to delight you longer, the humidity level in the room should be maintained at over 60%.

As soon as you bring a cut tree home from the cold, you should renew the cut by at least 10 cm.

You shouldn't spray the tree with a spray bottle: if there are electric garlands on it, this process is fraught with trouble.

Spraying may also leave water stains on your jewelry.

Experts recommend using a humidifier.
