Did you receive a miniature (actually young) evergreen tree (Christmas Tree) as a gift? You know what I’m talking about; the kind that comes in a pot decorated in a theme (some are called Theme Trees)? Well don’t go planting them outside just yet. Read the instructions on the tag. Keep them inside near a window where there is plenty of sunlight and keep the soil moist. Do this after unwrapping the pot and getting rid of the Christmas paper. The paper holds water and will cause the soil to mold and the roots to rot. Set the pot on a plate. Have patience and enjoy the ‘living’ tree until warmer weather is here and the danger of freezing has past before you plant it outside. Give it plenty of space; it will get bigger you know.
Happy gardening.
