Keep Your Christmas Tree Looking Good and Prevent It from Becoming a Fire Hazard

Christmas trees are fun for everyone. The whole family can go to the Christmas tree farm, pick out and cut a tree down, and decorate it. However, how do you take care of it to keep it looking great and keep your house safe? It's easy.

  1. Cut the trunk again when you get home. If you just stick the tree in water, it won't absorb the water well. Make a fresh cut on the trunk of the tree and put it sImage Hosted by ImageShack.ustraight into a bucket or Christmas tree stand full of water.

  2. Add sugars to the water. It definitely sounds strange, but adding a cup of maple syrup, corn syrup, or sugar to the water helps preserve the tree!

  3. Carefully monitor the tree's water. The tree will take up a lot of water, so keep an eye on it. If it completely dries out, the resin will cover the cut end, stopping water from being absorbed. If this happens, you need to cut the end off again, to get more water into the tree.

  4. Make sure the tree is secure. Christmas tree stands can be wobbly, so make sure that your tree is in the stand very securely. If not, a curious child could reach up and have the tree fall on top of her.

  5. Monitor the Christmas tree lights. Christmas tree lights should only be turned on when you are in the room. Even if your tree is well-watered, it could still be a fire hazard if something happened with the lights, so unplug them when no one is there to keep an eye on the tree.
