Christmas Greenery Tips

It’s that time of year when many of us are starting to fill our house with decorations, many of which include greenery.  Winter air can be extremely dry and unfriendly to cut greenery, so there are tips and tricks that you can follow to extend the life of your holiday decor and create a magical winter home.

1.  Seal the cut greenery with anti-desiccant spray.  This seals the pores and helps it retain moisture so that it lasts longer.

2.  Keep greenery away from heat and direct light.  These will dry out your decor and decrease its indoor life span. 

3. Spray your greenery with water daily.  This helps to moisturze the greenery as well as keep the wintery scent going.  On that note, mix many different types of greenery for a wonderful Christmas smell.  Try juniper, pine, cedar, and other evergreens.
