Christmas is just a few days away. So how’s your tree holding up? Mine still looks lush and lovely, thanks to the Christmas Tree Survival Tonic I keep feeding it. Every year, without fail, I pour this homemade elixir into our Christmas tree stand to keep that ol’ tree fresh and green throughout the year-end holidays. I’ve never found a better formula! Here’s what you need to whip up a batch for your tree:
- 2 cups of clear corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons of household bleach
- 4 multivitamin tablets with iron
- 1 gallon of very hot water
Mix all of the ingredients in a bucket and carefully pour the mixture into the tree stand. Deliver a fresh dose whenever the water level starts going down, and your evergreen will stay fresh as a daisy right into the new year.
