How to look after your real Christmas tree
HERE'S what you need to know if you're buying a real Christmas tree:
First thing's first: buy a pot (if it doesn't come in one already).
You'll need to treat your tree just like a houseplant and give it water and attention.
Make sure the container has good drainage - and it's a good idea to put something underneath to catch the excess water.
Check the soil everyday to make sure it's not drying out.
If it feels dry, give it some water. If it still feels moist, leave it alone as too much water can also kill a tree.
Also check the LED bulbs on your tree lights aren't too hot as they could burn it, and keep your tree away from radiators.
When Christmas is over, try planting it in the garden so you can dig it up and use it again next year.
It's a good idea to take it out of its pot when you do re-plant it though, as large trees don't survive well in pots as their roots need space to grow.
"I remember this as a kid and every time the windows steamed up for the next year you saw it again," wrote one viewer.
"Such an amazing idea!! Thanks," said another impressed follower.
"There are so many easy DIY Christmas decors, I'm going crazy this year," commented a third person.
