Most of us choose a Christmas tree at the Christmas tree store.market - you can't chop down a green beauty in the nearest park. Choose a tree with flexible and elastic branches - this is a sign of a freshly cut spruce, an old tree can be easily distinguished by brittle and dry twigs - we do not need such a tree, it is unlikely to survive delivery to the apartment, it will cover everything around with needles, and instead of fluffy branches it will leave only twigs. If you buy a tree in advance, then leave it on the balcony until the holiday, because, once in the warmth, it will quickly begin to dry out and crumble.
How to preserve the beauty of the Christmas tree
And if frost took care of the Christmas tree in the forest, wrapping it upIf you cover it with a snowy coat, then the tree starts to show its capricious nature in the apartment: it is hot in the room, and will catch a cold in a draft, besides, it is constantly thirsty. But, knowing a few rules, any capricious tree will stand until the Old New Year. First, clean the bark on the trunk by 10 centimeters, and then put the tree in a mixture of water and glycerin; the water should be settled, and its level should be higher than the level of the bark cut. 5 grams of citric acid, 6 grams of gelatin and 16 grams of crushed chalk, dissolved in 3 liters of water - this mixture will also help the tree to stay beautiful longer. Just do not forget to remove the bark and add clean water to the vessel as it is absorbed. The easiest way to preserve the beauty of the tree is to put it in a bucket of wet sand, to which half a teaspoon of garden urea is added. But do not forget about daily watering and spraying of branches, otherwise there will be no sense from a bucket of sand. A little aspirin in water is harmful to bacteria and good for the tree; if you decide to prolong its beauty with aspirin, then add salt and sugar to the water - so that the tree has something to feed on. Very often the tree is placed in a stand or on a cross. What to do in this case? Let the tree drink warm water with glycerin (a couple of hours is enough), and then fill the cut with wax or paraffin. But you should not use all the recipes at the same time - one is enough for the tree to stand in the apartment until March 8th. This is not only a symbol of the New Year, but also a powerful source of positive energy, especially if the tree is in the right corner. We recommend reading:
