It remains less than a week until the main night of the year, many do not think the celebration without a living fir, which will flavory the apartment all the remaining holidays. We will tell me how to properly handle the "Forest Beauty" so as not to collect the shuffled needles within a few days after installation.
Do not leave a tree without moisturizing
Despite the assurances of some vendors, it seems that cut spruce does not need moisture, the tree must be supplied with the necessary liquid. So, for example, a fir of two meters high need two liters of water per day. Alternatively, you can put it in a bucket with well-wet sand either wrap with a wet cloth and maintain the required level of moisture. In order not to complicate my life in advance, please purchase a tree stand with a water reservoir.
Do not use home
As soon as you acquire a tree, friends and relatives will begin to fall asleep you by advice, how to save spruce longer. Someone will recommend gelatin or citric acid, which will miraculously support life in the tree. However, no real evidence of this theory exists. Do not risk and purchase special fertilizers in the store.
Many prefer to decorate a living tree

Do not set fir next to the battery
The excessive heat will lead to dehydration of the tree, no matter how well you wanted it. Fireplace, battery and all kinds of heaters - the worst enemies of living spruce. It is best to place a tree in the center of the room or find an angle in which the tree will not suffer from temperature drop.
Do not remove the needles with a vacuum cleaner.
Yes, the vacuum cleaner is much easier to collect all the small needles, which inevitably leaves behind a live fir, but you only spoil the technique. The modern robot-vacuum cleaner is especially exposed to the danger, which is simply not designed for this kind of work. Take advantage of simple broom and scoop.
Give fir to where it really is waiting

Do not throw fir in the trash can
In the past few years, more and more people find out that the spruce can not be thrown into the nearest tank, instead, pass it there, where it is very useful, for example, in the zoo - fir paws will serve as a heatel for animal enclosures, and the tree trunk can be used as Filler for the same enclosures. However, we first clean the fir from the marks of Christmas decorations.
