Cinco express You may think of tree stands as large ugly contraptions that ruin the appearance of an otherwise perfect Christmas tree from childhood. These days, they usually combine style and practicality. While they're still unlikely to win any awards for outstanding beauty, they don't detract from the tree's appearance. If you prefer to keep the tree stand out of sight, they are easy to conceal with Christmas décor. Why do I need a Christmas tree stand?Christmas tree stands are generally straightforward to set up, although it helps if you have another person to help, especially if you have a tall tree. If you've never stabilised a Christmas tree with a stand before, here's an easy step-by-step guide: As for the kind of water to use, plain tap water is just fine. You might be advised to add sugar, aspirin, lemonade or even vodka but most experts agree that plain water works best. How to hide a Christmas tree stand The stand is then filled with water to help support your tree by keeping it hydrated. Bear in mind that the water level will need to be regularly topped up to prevent the tree from drying out, which would result in the needles shedding prematurely. It pays to be patient when putting up the Christmas tree, and before you place it neatly in the tree stand, there are a few things to do to ensure you get the best from your tree. Cut the bottom of the tree

There's no denying that Christmas tree stands aren't exactly pretty, especially not compared to the twinkling lights and shiny baubles that adorn the rest of the tree. For this reason, most people cover their stand to make the bottom of the Christmas tree look more appealing for Santa to (hopefully!) leave all those presents underneath.

Keep your Christmas tree stableThe main thing to consider when choosing a tree stand is the size and shape of the tree. Choose the correct stand for the height of your tree as well as for the diameter of the trunk. Firstly, Christmas tree stands are used to keep a live tree upright and stable. Without a tree stand, a freshly cut real Christmas tree would fall over as, without support, the trunk isn't wide enough to support the branches on its own. Dr. Gary Chastagner, Plant Pathologist and Extension Specialist at Washington State University, an independent researcher and expert in Christmas trees, says that Christmas trees will continue to use water after they are cut in the field. It is this ability that keeps the tree looking and smelling fresh for extended display periods. But there are factors that will affect how long the tree will be able to do so. You want a tree stand that will function to serve these factors.

Firstly, it's important to understand how vital a role watering plays in keeping your Christmas tree looking vibrant and healthy. Think of your trees like cut flowers and the stand like a vase. In a very similar way to the flowers, a Christmas tree soaks up water from the bottom, which means the vase or stand needs to be topped up every now and again. Without access to water, your tree will dry out, resulting in brittle needles that turn brown and drop off. Not the look you want to come downstairs to on Christmas morning!

Just Add Water
