Many people are too lazy to throw away a live Christmas tree for several months after the New Year celebration. And some even consider this a reason for pride, they say, he didn’t break, he went against the system, let him stand until spring. To be honest, this is a dubious achievement. Especially if you know that you really can’t keep a Christmas tree in the house for a long time – it can cause some health problems.
So, when should you throw out your Christmas tree? The maximum permissible period for a Christmas tree to be in the house is 10 days. If you continue to keep the tree indoors, the needles begin to dry out, crumble, and mold grows on it, the spores of which can cause allergies, coughs, and runny noses, especially in children and asthmatics.
But that’s not all: the longer the spruce tree stands in the house, the faster its needles dry out and fall off. Now imagine how many pine needles you will have to sweep away after you finally decide to get rid of the tree! The needles will remind you of spruce for another year, being found under carpets, thresholds, in closets and other places. Therefore, do not spoil the atmosphere in the house – keep the New Year tree for no more than 10 days.
