You can put her anywhere in your house over Christmas and she’ll be fine. She’s not worried about light levels.
She won’t need watering very often. Just water her if the top two inches of soil feel dry.
She won’t need misting, but keep her clear of radiators. The hot, dry air won’t do her any good.

The Nordmann fir has been the nation’s favourite Christmas tree for years, chosen for its wide, bushy shape (all the better for holding more decorations) and gentle pine scent. It’s the classic Christmas tree.
Our trees are pot grown in the UK, with their roots intact. This is for two reasons. First, it guarantees your tree will stay fresh and green all through Christmas and won’t drop needles, because it’s still very much alive, unlike cut trees. It’s also better for the planet. A pot grown tree can be put outside after Christmas and be used again and again, year after year. If you don’t have space for your tree outside, we encourage you to donate or recycle it.
Level up your tree with some fairy lights and baubles.
Did you know?
Nordmann firs can grow to 85 metres tall in the wild. You’d need some pretty long fairy lights to decorate that.
