The New Year tree will last at least until the Old New Year if you add sugar to the water.
We'll tell you what else needs to be done to make the tree stand as long as possible.
How to extend the life of a Christmas tree
Firstly, you can't put up a live tree long before the holiday. The optimal time is three to four days before the New Year.
However, you should buy a Christmas tree a little earlier; it should stand in the entrance for a couple of hours.
Secondly, before immersing the tree in water, it is necessary to refresh the cut with a saw.
Thirdly, the New Year tree should be installed at a sufficient distance from heat sources.
Fourthly, you can put the tree not in water, but in sand, and water it regularly. Sugar and aspirin should be added to the water (one tablet per liter of water).
Before installation, it is advisable to clear the tree trunk of bark by 10 cm.
