Potted Christmas trees promise sustainability—but will they survive?
Potted conifers need careful handling if kept indoors. They must be misted every three to four hours to stop the roots and needles from drying out. Bringing them inside also triggers growth, making it harder to replant them later in freezing temperatures.
While potted trees offer an eco-friendly alternative to cut ones, their survival depends on proper care and sourcing. Without the right conditions, many will not thrive once moved outside. Buyers are urged to check plant health and origin before purchasing.
