Cut Trees

• Make a fresh cut at the base of the tree and get it into water within one hour to prevent the sap from sealing, preventing the tree from taking up water.
• Keep plenty of water in the tree stand. Your tree may use a gallon or more water a day and the stand may need to be refilled more than once.
• Adding Prolong to the water will assist in the uptake of water and will help the tree retain its needles longer.
• Place the tree away from heat vents and other heat sources.
• Help prevent electric fires by inspecting all cords and unplugging your tree when you are not home.

Fresh Greens

• Soak overnight or up to 24 hours and keep in a cool location, like the garage, until you are ready to decorate.
• Keep away from heat vents and other heat sources. Temporarily remove greens from the mantle when the fireplace is in use.
• Avoid placing wreaths and greenery between the main door and storm door. The heat and sun will accelerate drying out.
• Daily misting will assist in moisture retention.
• You may spray greens with an anti-desiccant such as Wilt-Pruf, which acts as a protective coating to prevent moisture loss. Always use outside and dry thoroughly before re-hanging them. Avoid using on junipers and berries as the product will cause them to turn black.
