Nerd: Christmas trees do not like dry air and temperatures above 20 degrees – study In Poland (PAP)

If we give the tree the appropriate conditions so that its barrel was immersed in water, and the temperature in the room does not exceed 20 degrees Celsius, there is a chance that Christmas tree last longer, says botanist Dr. Monika Jędrzejczyk-Korycińska of the Silesian University.

of the live trees at Christmas in Polish homes are the most common spruce, fir and pine. As recalled Jędrzejczyk-Korycińska, even when choosing a tree can be expected, which will be longer and that will smell good.

“Eat smell great, in fact, have a characteristic, such resinous smell, which permeates the house and creates a wonderful holiday atmosphere. At that time very popular are the trees that are in our home for quite some time, however, there is one small drawback, as fir does not smell is not as beautiful as spruce or other species,” said botanist from the Faculty of Biology and environmental Protection University of Silesia.

Assuming that they bought recently uciętą tree from proven locations, repairs in the home will be spruce, although the exact time of bloom depends on the conditions that prevail in a given location. “Because if we have temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius and dry air, these needles in a few days start to be dry and start to fall. However, if we make this plant suitable conditions, and therefore the temperature is below 20 degrees, and if the trunk is immersed in water, which means that this tree will have access to water – there is a chance that more of us will remain,” she added Jędrzejczyk-Korycińska.

in addition, Pointed to the problem of the proper placement of the tree (not the fireplace or the battery, but rather in a cold place), access to light, and the method of transporting it home from the store. Nerd advises not to make the tree immediately to the house, but rather gradually accustom it to the new conditions, for example, leaving the tree at some time in the basement or garage.

a Significant impact on the life of the tree also has a selection of Christmas lights. “Normal жеaróweczki produce heat, hence, the aura around the Christmas tree warm and then – you know, the air too dry for us. Christmas is murder. And if we have lights in led lights that do not produce heat, it is definitely better for the trees,” she added.

“I Think so, that in favorable conditions, the spruce will keep the needles in a week or two weeks, and ate even two months,” she said Jędrzejczyk-Korycińska. (PAP)
