If you want a new experience this Christmas to spice up your usual Christmas decorating traditions, consider getting a live Christmas tree instead. Having this beautiful live evergreen in your house will bring joy this holiday season as it provides a beautiful site and smell for everyone in the house. Consider a Virginia Pine or Red Cedar tree to choose for your live tree this season. They are both beautiful trees to bring joy to your life. Additionally, a significant benefit of having a live tree in your house is that it can be replanted outside after the holidays are over.

If you plan on replanting your Christmas tree after the holiday, keep in mind there are some particular extra steps you need to take before doing this. First, you have to make sure that the tree's root ball is entirely intact. If a large part of the root ball is damaged, the tree may not thrive as well outside. So be careful and take good care of it. Additionally, consider buying a smaller tree if you plan to replant, it is a much easier task to handle. Also, if replanting, keep in mind that the tree can only stay up inside the house for two weeks at maximum. Or else, it will not be able to adapt back to the outside weather conditions. Get the tree closer to Christmas to avoid any problems.

When the tree is inside your house, it is suggested that you keep the root ball of the tree moist. You can do this by wrapping the root ball in wet sphagnum moss. Additionally, some people say that you can water the tree every single day with water or ice cubes. Either way, the tree's roots must stay wet. When Christmas is over, you can store your tree in a greenhouse for a week or two if the ground is frozen where a hole cannot be dug. You do not want the tree to be unable to adapt and out of full dormancy. After the time has passed, take the tree out of the greenhouse, place it in a big enough hole to accommodate the root ball and bury it underground. It is always a good idea to fill the hole with fertile soil and mulch if you have it available. You do not need to over fertilize. That is something you can take advantage of in the spring. You will then have a lovely and beautiful tree to appreciate in your yard!
