It’s hard to believe there are only about three months until Christmas, and if you love the holiday, you’re likely already starting to put together a decorating plan. If you prefer real trees and usually spring for a live fir every year, you may be interested in a more sustainable (and frankly adorable) option this year: succulent Christmas trees.
- What makes succulent Christmas trees more environmentally friendly? While “normal” Christmas trees die and have to be disposed of after the holidays pass, succulent Christmas trees can be kept possibly forever! That means you get the joy of knowing you have a live plant while also redecorating year after year.
- You can still decorate them however you’d like. While you might have to keep your massive baubles and ornaments to do something more creative with, the succulent version can still be decorated, albeit with much smaller touches. You can even top them with little stars for an extra seasonal touch.
- Plus, you can have tons of them! If you buy a massive Christmas tree, you’ll likely only have room for one in your house/apartment. The great thing with succulents is that you can theoretically have tons all over your place since they take up so little room. More Christmas spirit, anyone?
- They can even be part of a bigger Christmas scene. Maybe you have a ceramic Christmas village or other scenes that you set out every year on a table or mantelpiece. Your succulent Christmas tree can fit right in and take things to the next level. How great will that look?
- They’d even look amazing on your Christmas dinner table. Imagine having little succulent Christmas trees on your dinner table between your delicious dishes to add a little holiday flair? You can even have enough to send your guests home with as a little party favor. Great idea, right?
