Brush your hand against your Christmas tree and see what happens. I would bet money that needles fall off.
As long as I’ve had Christmas trees, a dusting of needles on the ground have been part of the experience—that, along with the slight irritation of touching something spiky.
Several years ago, after researching how to keep a garland from drying out, it occurred to me that the same things that would keep a garland from drying out would probably keep a tree from drying out. Enter: the humidifier.
I sacrifice running my humidifier in my bedroom for my houseplants for running it in the living room for the Christmas tree.
How to Keep Your Tree Soft With a Humidifier
The key to keeping your tree tender with a humidifier is having the right humidifier. The first year I tried it, I had a bad humidifier. Its settings consisted of ON and OFF, and it was too miniature for the room. I ran the humidifier and the part of the tree it was closest to was very tender, but the rest of the tree was as parched as a bad scone.
Dreo 4L Smart Humidifier
The second year I tried this trick, I had a Dreo humidifier (it’s also on The Spruce’s list of best humidifiers).
It’s a clever humidifier. I connected it to my phone and through the app, I could set a target humidity level. The app said sub-40% humidity was parched, and above 60% humidity was damp. I went with 50% and set it to auto. It would run just enough to keep the humidity in the room at a minimum of 50%.
Touch my Christmas tree, and all you feel is tender. It’s exactly what you want to feel when you think about grazing the needles while you hang ornaments. Nothing breaks off when I touch the tree; needles don’t fall at the slightest movement.
Why It Works
The reason this trick works is elementary: it’s science. If you’ve ever looked closely at a well-watered houseplant, you might see droplets of moisture on the leaf tips. Plants (and trees) lose moisture from their leaves. Your tree is losing moisture through its leaves.
Watering it isn’t the only way to deliver moisture to your Christmas tree (especially since at some point it will stop drinking). You can also deliver moisture through the needles by raising the humidity.
You don’t want to raise the humidity so high that the needles get damp and drip water, so it’s best not to point the humidifier directly at the tree (the Dreo’s top portion is adjustable so you can direct the mist where you want). Set it a few feet away and it’ll end up just right.
Other Ways I Keep My Christmas Tree Healthy
The other thing you can do to assist yourself out with your tree is set it up for success. Get a tree with a fresh cut so it can absorb the maximum amount of water. I set my stand up in advance before I even get my tree, and I buy my tree as close to my home as possible, so that the time between the tree getting a fresh cut and going into water is as tiny as possible.
Try to put your tree somewhere that isn’t near a window. Direct sun coming at the tree through a window causes it to parched out faster. I live in a miniature apartment so I have exactly one option for where to place my tree, and unfortunately it is in a window, but I keep the curtain pulled all month long to give it a little shade.
And be sure to refill its water often enough that it doesn’t run out. The Christmas tree won’t last forever, but these steps—paired with a great humidifier—will assist it last though the holiday season.
