How to prep your tree

  1. 1

    Choose a healthy tree

    Look for vibrant green needles and give it a gentle shake to check for excessive needle drop.

  2. 2

    Shake off debris

    Remove loose needles and dirt to keep your home cleaner and avoid clogs in the stand.

  3. 3

    Remove lower branches

    Trim branches that would interfere with the stand so the trunk sits securely.

  4. 4

    Cut the base

    Make a fresh, straight cut, trimming about 1–2 inches from the base.

  5. 5

    Position the tree

    Place the tree in its stand immediately after the fresh cut.

  6. 6

    Secure the tree

    Fasten it in the stand, checking that it is straight and upright.

  7. 7

    Water immediately

    Fill the reservoir as soon as the tree is secured.

  8. 8

    Check water levels daily

    Keep the water level above the base of the trunk.

  9. 9

    Avoid heat sources

    Keep the tree away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents.

  10. 10

    Tree preservative (optional)

    Plain water and regular refilling are the essentials.

How to use the Gravity Tree Stand

  1. Step 1

    Set up the Gravity Tree Stand

    • Prepare the location: Choose a spot away from radiators and fireplaces.
    • Place the stand: Set it on a level surface to keep the tree stable and upright.

  2. Step 2

    Assemble the watering box

    • Attach the box: Connect the watering box to the stand.
    • Position the box: Place it close to the tree so it can supply water through the stand.

  3. Step 3

    Fill the watering box

    • Open the box: Lift the lid to access the reservoir.
    • Fill with water: Use a suitable container and stop at the maximum fill line.

  4. Step 4

    Monitor and maintain

    • Check water levels: The gravity-fed system supplies water to your tree, so check the reservoir regularly.
    • Refill as needed: Top it up as the tree absorbs water to keep it hydrated.
