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.
Now you can water your Christmas tree once in early December and keep it fresh throughout the holiday season. Vacation is an all-natural tree preservative that keeps fresh-cut Christmas trees looking green all season long with less needle drop. With just one application, Vacation will keep a Christmas tree fresh for up to three to four weeks.
Simply mix one 8-ounce bottle of Vacation with one gallon of water and pour the solution into the tree stand reservoir. 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. Vacation is safe and non-toxic for people and pets.
Vacation can also be used on poinsettias and other potted plants. Just mix two capfuls of Vacation with a cup of water (or three ounces per gallon of water). Apply the solution until the soil is saturated. Poinsettias will then survive without water for up to two weeks.
An 8-ounce bottle of Vacation sells for about $10-13 at www.naturehills.com and www.highcountrygardens.com. It is also available at garden centers and hardware stores.
