Caring for Christmas Tree from Heat and Lights
Keep your tree away from significant sources of heat. This can mean
heaters, fireplaces, heating vents and even sunlight. Displaying
your tree in an area away from these things and keeping the
temperature in the room cool will minimize the amount of drying your
tree will experience.
Use mini-lights! These produce less heat, reducing the amount of
drying to your tree.
Don’t use old, worn out lights, as this can be dangerous on any live
tree. Inspect the entire length of the lights carefully and replace
burnt out bulbs. If the entire string is worn out, don’t try to
revive it somehow – replace it.
Make sure you only put as many electrical lights and gadgets on a
particular circuit that it can handle. Overloading a circuit is a
hazard.
Not at home or going to bed – turn off your tree lights and other
decorations!
