Caring for your Christmas tree
If you have a cut tree, treat it like a bunch of flowers - cut a little off the base so the tree can take up water. Put it into water immediately after it is cut so that the end doesn't seal up and prevent the uptake of water. Keep it away from direct heat such as a fire or radiator and ensure that the water doesn't dry up.
If you've chosen a pot-grown tree, think of it like a houseplant. If you're putting your tree up indoors, remember that it has to deal with a dramatic change in temperature and it's best if you can acclimatise it gradually so that it gently becomes used to the warmer indoor temperatures. Make sure it is kept well watered and away from direct heat. If you plan to put it outdoors again after Christmas, acclimatise it again in reverse, and minimise the watering provided until it begins to grow again in the spring.
