It's important to use the right water for your Christmas tree to keep it healthy and hydrated. To prevent needles from dropping and prolong the life of your tree, we recommend using a special tree-watering solution or a mixture of one quart of sugar and two gallons of water. The sugar will help nourish the tree's roots and keep the needles green, while the water provides the moisture needed for proper hydration. You can also add a few drops of bleach to the water to prevent bacteria growth.
