Sizes of the New Year tree

Before direct purchase, it is important to decide on the desired size of the "Forest Guest". Ideally, the festive tree must correspond to the size of the room:

In the spacious room, the Christmas tree is most often installed on the floor - in this case, the height of the coniferous beauty is limited exclusively to personal preferences and the height of the ceiling.

How to choose a live tree

It is best to choose a natural spruce in the daytime day - so you can fully appreciate the condition of the concerned village. It is possible to determine the "freshness" of the coniferous plant as follows:

Carefully inspect the trunk of the Christmas tree - ideally, it should be rough, but without visible mechanical damage and mold lesions. Consider that the girth of a comula (bottom of the trunk) of a healthy and strong coniferous individual ranges from 6-8 cm.
Pay attention to the condition and color of the stem cut. Light sleep, covered with a thin layer of oily gully, testifies to the short-lived tree stay on the Christmas Bazaar.
Flexible, plastic and directed branches - another sign of a recently fledged Christmas tree. If the twigs seem fragile and brittle - most likely, in room conditions the New Year's tree will not be enough.
Separate attention deserves coniferous shelves. Excellent if the needles are smooth, monophonic, sourcing characteristic spicy smell.

On a note! So that in the process of transporting does not damage the chosen Christmas tree, reinforce it around the circumference of a solid twine and wrap the tight fabric or an elastic film.

Installation of a live tree at home

Installation of natural fir in the house requires a weighted approach. It is important that the New Year tree does not bother full-fledged movement in the room and occupied the minimum of its useful area. An ideal place for mounting forest beauty - under the wall or by the window, but away from room radiators and household heating devices.

Recommendations for the installation of a natural Christmas tree:

Until the installation, the acquired coniferous tree is recommended to withstand over 24-48 hours in the unheated room - for example, in the garage, the inter-storey pantry or on the balcony.
Before the direct installation, it is necessary to update the trunk speaker and carefully clean the kolly from the crust with a sharp knife. The location of the cut is desirable to be poured with crowded activated carbon or wood ash, and the lower part of the trunk is wrapped with a wet burlap.
You can install a natural Christmas tree in both a steady stand-cross, and in a bucket or a tub with sand. Preferred, of course, the second option, as it allows you to continue to keep the tree bright and fresh due to the possibility of making local feeding.

Living Fir

The coniferous coniferous trees are quite capricious and picky in terms of maintenance at home - this is a fact. Once in an unnatural environment, they gradually weaken, change the emerald color to the brown-yellow and reset the needles. In order for the fragrant Christmas tree as long as possible with its pristine beauty, after installation, it is necessary to care for it:

Regularly irrigate the forest tree with clean water. For spraying, use a household or garden pulverizer with a fine sprayer.
If possible, periodically rotate the Christmas tree around its axis so that each part of the plant receives a sufficient amount of light.
For irrigation of the natural Christmas tree mounted in a container with sandy filler, use special nutrient solutions:

on 1 liter of water - 2 aspirin tablets + 1 tsp. Sahara + 1/2 C.L. salts;
on 1 l of water - 1/2 C.L. citric acid + 1 tsp granulated gelatin;
on 1 l of water - 1 tbsp. Glycerin + 2 tbsp. Ground chalk or charcoal.

Compliance with uncomplicated rules and recommendations will allow for a long time to preserve the magic aroma and the natural freshness of your New Year's Christmas tree-beauty.
