List of Ingredients













Leave the tree outside or in the garage for a few days before bringing inside to decorate.

Make a fresh cut across the bottom, about 1" above base, so your tree can drink easily.

Make a preservative: mix a quart of water with 1/2-cup of corn syrup and a tsp. of bleach.

After a few days in the preservative, bring the tree inside and place it in a location away from direct sunlight and other heat sources (such as heating ducts, wood stoves and fireplaces.)

Remember to add water to the reservoir daily.
