Which tree to choose?

especially if you have children at home.

Its unique advantages:

Excellency.
What we like:
- Its intense fragrance fills the house and recalls Christmases of yesteryear.
- Economical option for all budgets.
- The spirit of tradition and authenticity
Please note: It loses its needles more quickly, but it remains the essential choice for those who want to rediscover the charm of Christmas at our grandparents' house.
What size for your living room?
The golden rule (simple and effective)
- Measure the height of your ceiling
- Remove about 50 cm for the star and the base
- You get the ideal height for your tree
Our advice according to the space
- Apartment or small living room → between 1m25 and 1m50
- House with standard living room → between 1.75m and 2m
- Large room or high ceiling → from 2.25m
Tip: It's better to choose a slightly smaller tree, which breathes well in the room, than a giant one stuck to the ceiling.
How to prolong the freshness of your natural tree ?
Choosing the Right Support
1. Cross support (classic)
THE Christmas tree cross stand is the most economical and easiest to use solution. It offers good stability for medium-sized natural fir trees . To keep your natural Christmas tree fresh for longer, remember to water regularly by pouring water around the base, and place a cup under the support to protect your soil.
1. Support with water tank (recommended)
THE Christmas tree stand with water tank is the most practical option to extend the life of your natural Christmas tree . Thanks to its 3 to 4 liter reservoir, your tree remains continuously hydrated without effort. Watering is simplified and you no longer need to lift the tree. This type of support is ideal for ensuring the freshness and longevity of your Nordmann fir Or fir spruce .
3. Without Support (for DIYers)
If you already have an old media, you can install your natural Christmas tree without a water tank. This is an economical solution, but it requires a little more vigilance: make sure that your Nordmann fir Or Spruce be stable, and water regularly by hand to prevent it from drying out too quickly.
Daily Maintenance (5 Minutes a Day Maximum!)
1. Watering according to your support
If you use a tree stand with water tank , check the level every day. A natural Christmas tree can consume up to 1 liter of water per day during the first few days. Make sure to never leave the reservoir empty, to keep your tree fresh and healthy.
With a classic cross support , watering requires a little more attention. Pour water gently around the base of the Nordmann fir or Spruce , preferably morning and evening. Use a fine-spout watering can to reach the trunk without damaging the ground, and remember to protect your parquet floor with a tarpaulin or towels .
2. The ideal temperature
To extend the life of your natural fir , place it in a temperate room, around 18 to 20°C. Avoid placing it too close to a radiator or fireplace, as heat accelerates drying. Regularly ventilating the room is also a good idea to maintain a cooler and more pleasant environment.
The Trick That Works!
A little secret passed down from generation to generation: adding a aspirin in fir water ! This simple trick will help prolong the freshness and greenery of your natural Christmas tree throughout the holidays.
After Christmas: Let's Give It a Beautiful Ending!
Don't just throw your Christmas tree away! In Belgium, we have plenty of collection points that transform it into:
- Compost for parks
- Wood chips to protect gardens
- Green energy
Some municipalities even organize home collections at the beginning of January!
