The correct location is key to the survival and safety of your tree. Remember to keep it way from heat sources and sunny windows. Make sure you’ve selected a location with outlets nearby and don’t over load the outlets. After you have it in just the right spot, follow these simple steps to help your tree last longer.
- Make sure you have it standing straight up in the stand. Any lean at all could lead to decoration disasters.
- Keep the water full. The best way to keep your tree longer is to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Adding things to the water doesn’t help—just water is enough.
- When selecting lights to put on your tree, LED lights are the way to go. They have the longest life along and produce the least of mount of excess heat.
- Turn your Christmas tree lights off when you are not home.
- As soon as the needles start to fall of your tree, take down the decorations and remove it from your home.
