Interesting, I always assumed cold! I'll try hot tomorrow... Although mine is drying out and probably on its last legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995950 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:00:18 +0000 Andrea 1995950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, even though we've been watering it a lot. I'll try some of these other tricks next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995938 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 12:47:39 +0000 lavender 1995938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, first year with a fake and never going back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995926 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 12:42:48 +0000 krispi 1995926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bottom seems to be drying out more than the top. We put a special tree food in the water, but we aren't as good about watering it as we should be, especially now that we have the presents around the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995835 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:59:40 +0000 prettylizy 1995835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The tree guy at our local tree farm said to feed your tree with hot water and add a teaspoon of bleach to the water and it has worked like a charm for three years straight. Phew said he keeps his tree up November to February every year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995822 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:51:10 +0000 kiddosc 1995822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's drying out a little, but overall still holding up well. It's not drinking a whole lot of water anymore, so it's definitely on it's last legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995802 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:41:38 +0000 BSB 1995802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still going strong. I did that trick where I took off a 0.5'' slice of the stump before putting it in my tree stand. It's suppose to help the tree drink water. I'll make sure to fill our tree stand before our trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995799 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:40:57 +0000 autumnlove 1995799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we used some MiracleGro liquid this year and it still looks nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995788 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:37:15 +0000 alohaorchid 1995788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, lol. It's fake </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995785 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:36:02 +0000 fairy 1995785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we have a fake tree lol. My #1 reason for the fake tree is because of the fire hazard of real ones. They go up in flames in a second! Scary scary. Not sure about the sprite but it sounds like BS lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995779 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:32:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1995779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It's been a bit chaotic here and no one watered it over the weekend while I was working. I flooded it this morning. Hope it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995776 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:31:07 +0000 Mamaof2 1995776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, its fake :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995773 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:30:16 +0000 simplyfelicity 1995773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-christmas-tree-drying-out-yet#post-1995771 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:27:47 +0000 mrbee 1995771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is getting a bit dry, which got me worried about the tree being a fire hazard! Gonna water it more... a friend said that trees love Sprite, but I looked online and apparently that's an urban legend? Who knows... I'll probably stick with water.</p> <p>Is your Christmas tree drying out yet? </p>
