    Tips for Beginners to Care for Christmas Plants

    Starting with plants doesn’t have to be intimidating. Here are some simple tips to keep your Christmas plants happy:

    • Light: Most Christmas plants prefer bright, indirect light. Keep them near a window but avoid harsh direct sunlight.

    • Watering: Overwatering is a common mistake. Check the soil and water only when it feels dry to the touch.

    • Placement: Keep plants away from drafts, air conditioning, or heaters to maintain a consistent environment.

    • Decorate with Care: If adding ornaments or ribbons to your plants, ensure they don’t damage the leaves or weigh the plant down.
