How to Acclimate a living Christmas Tree | ||||
Acclimating a tree or any plant is necessary when the plant is going to be moved to an extremely different temperature. Your living Christmas tree has been outside in the winter temps and has become dormant (it stopped growing for the year). You don't want to break that winter dormancy because when you move the tree back outside it will be venerable to the cold and might not even survive. Protect your Christmas investment and follow these simple steps to keeping your tree healthy when you move it inside and back outside of your home.
Step1 Step2 You'll need to move the tree into a garage, basement, or unheated room of your house. This step is to slightly warm your tree up but to keep it cool enough that it doesn't start to grow. The tree should spend 10 days here and you should keep it watered. Step3 10 days later, your tree is ready to go in your house. Again, it should only spend another 10 days inside, so December 16th would be the ideal day for the tree to move in your house. Keep the tree in the coolest place in your home, away from any heater vents. Keep a tray under the pot, because the root ball needs to drain. Step4 December 26th, time to re-acclimate your tree so it can safely move back outside. Remove the decorations from the tree and move it back into the garage or basement. Keep it watered for the next 10 days. Step5 10 days are up and the tree can be moved back outside. Set it in place and water. |
