at wal mart they could have some kind of liquid in the gardening section that you add to your water once a week that keeps your tree alive longer. i forget what it's called but if you talk to an employee in that section i'm sure they could help you if you describe it.
i hope i was of some help to you.

My mother always put sugar (about a cup) in with the water that you put in the tree stand. Keep checking the water every day it will go down considerably, then add more sugar also. About a cup or half cup depending on how much water the tree has sucked up .

positioned the tree right into a particularly enormous pot (like a half wine barrel length). and which you need to to get one in all those rolling structures (some million foot sq. with casters on it) to make it extra user-friendly to flow around. make particular the pot has a drain hollow and get a saucer sufficiently enormous that the backside of the pot suits into it. Set the saucer on the platform (if to procure one) and place it the place you are going to place the tree. Use a well-recognized potting soil and plant the tree into the pot purely as you will possibly a houseplant. try this outdoors, so which you will soak the potting soil and permit it drain ahead of bringing it interior. At this factor, the tree and pot would be very heavy and additionally you will likely prefer a pair of human beings to flow it. convey it interior and set it on the saucer. flow it around as mandatory. verify the soil each and every couple of days. attain up and stick your hands in the soil. If it rather is moist, wait yet another couple of days. If it feels dry, upload some water (pint or 2). shop an eye fixed on the saucer and, if it starts to fill as much as the place you think of it is going to overflow, wick somewhat some the water out with a towel or paper towels. After Christmas, wheel the tree out on your backyard. you could the two proceed to maintain it in the pot or plant it in the floor. yet, in case you prefer to attempt to apply it lower back the subsequent year, purely shop it in the pot.
