Keep Christmas Trees Fresh and Green All Season Long(HIT) - Christmas just isn’t the same without a fresh-cut Christmas tree. The smell of a fresh tree infuses a home with holiday spirit, and the beauty of a real tree still can’t be matched by artificial trees. Unfortunately, a fresh-cut tree can require daily watering or it will dry out quickly inside a heated home.
Just mix one 8-oz. bottle of Vacation with one gallon of water and pour the solution into the tree stand reservoir inside the Christmas tree stand. Cut the end of the tree and place the tree in the stand. Let the tree soak up the solution overnight, and there’s no need to water again for up to four weeks. After that time, revert back to a normal watering schedule for the rest of the holiday season. A fresh-cut Christmas tree treated with Vacation will keep its needles and green color for three to four weeks. Vacation is biodegradable and contains no toxic chemicals. Works on poinsettias, too! Vacation can also be used to keep poinsettias and other potted plants from drying out. Just mix two capfuls of Vacation with a cup of water (or three ounces per gallon of water). Apply the solution as a watering to the entire pot until the soil is saturated. Poinsettias will then survive without water for up to two weeks. An 8-ounce bottle of vacation sells for $14.95 at www.naturehills.com/product/vacation_8_oz.aspx.
