After purchasing your tree from Plymouth Garden Centre, we advise you to follow these tips to ensure your tree stays looking beautiful throughout the festive period.

    • Leave outside in a bucket of water unnetted until ready to decorate.
    • After bringing the tree indoors, position it on the opposite side of the room or away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires. This precaution helps prevent the tree from experiencing shock after being outside.
    • Give it plenty of space so that air can circulate the tree.
    • Always keep your tree in water and keep topping up every couple of days – having a sturdy stand will help!
