Caring for Ikea tree help

[shirley]

Normally get one from B & Q, but bought ikea instead, lacks any smell but is very full. Any advice to look after it. Usually we buy week before xmad x

We used to pour Coca Cola in it as well as the water , the sugar was supposed to help and ours always lasted well into Christmas and beyond

Chop and inch off the bottom, make sure it’s in a stand that holds water, keep it away from a radiator.

Will take water like a cut flower.

This is what we do too - chop an inch off, use a stand with a reservoir, keep it topped up with water. We have an Ikea tree for first time this year. Smells wonderful and fab shape, really pleased with it.
