When the Christmas season is over, and the New Year has passed, many people take the first week of January as the time in which they clean up from the Christmas décor that they have around their home. This is considered the standard time to put these items up and store them until the next year of use. However, for those who are storing flocked Christmas trees they often wonder if there are any special considerations that they need to make to ensure that when they store these that the flocked Christmas trees are still going to be beautiful the next year that they are brought out. We have a few tips that you can use to ensure that you are storing flocked Christmas trees properly!

Why Proper Storage is Important for Flocked Christmas Trees

1. Do not store these with ornaments on the tree. Not only is this not something that is safe for ornaments. But, you will find that keeping things hanging on the tree throughout the year can actually affect the branches of the tree.

2. Be sure that you are storing this tree in a bag or box that allows it to fit comfortably. You do not want to find yourself having to throw this in and jump onto it to make it fit. That is going to be something that will be a huge headache the next year that you bring this out.

3. Store this in an area that does not get super hot. Super hot temperatures can affect the white of the flocking, making it yellow as though this is super old. It can make it where you really don’t want to use this again as it doesn’t have that super bright feel to it anymore.

4. Do not sit anything onto this tree while in storage, or this can make it break over time.

5. Do not put this into an area that could get wet. Any time an artificial tree gets wet it can make the flocking simply fall off.
