The demand for artificial spruce is increasing every year. And there is an explanation for this: firstly, not everyone likes to run around the city every year at the end of December and choose a high-quality real Christmas tree so that it does not crumble ahead of time and looks good. Secondly, many people prefer artificial spruce in order to protect mother nature.
But the artificial option must be chosen wisely, but for a long time. Therefore, it is very important to be able to distinguish between low-quality spruce, otherwise you can harm your health or start a fire. The least fire hazardous are Christmas trees made of polymers with the addition of flame retardants (a substance that provides fire protection), refractory plastic and PVC film. What substances the spruce is made of should be spelled out in the quality (or safety) certificate, so do not hesitate to ask the seller for full information.
The main distinguishing feature of high-quality spruce is the absence of smell. If the spruce has a smell, then it is made of low-quality material. When choosing a New Year's beauty, literally sniff it.
Also, when testing a Christmas tree, you need to check it for crumbling. Run your hand against the fur, pull the needles. Quality needles will not fall off. But do not overdo it, because if you pull too hard, you can pull out high-quality ones.
The quality of the needles is also considered to be their softness. Try to apply slight pressure to the needle so that it bends slightly and release. If it unfolds to its original shape, then the material is of high quality.
And most importantly, do not forget to get maximum benefit and a magical New Year's mood from choosing a New Year's beauty.
