How do you take care of a potted Christmas tree indoors?
If possible, you want to position the tree in a cool but light spot – definitely not next to a radiator or heater of any kind.

Which is better Douglas fir vs Fraser fir?
Douglas Fir has a pyramidal shape with beautiful green to blue-green needles. It is a dependable tree that will last the entire season. Fraser Fir has a great pine smell to it and is more slender than other firs, so it will fit better in a smaller room. Its branches turn slightly upward giving it a more compact look.

How long do potted Christmas trees last outside?

Why is my potted pine tree dying?
Evergreens lose water through their needles and they push water out through their needles whenever they are becoming dry, so if they are located near a constant source of dry air the tree is going to become stressed. And a tree that has to use up its stored water faster than normal will also drop needles and die.
