Why are plants becoming an alternative to Christmas trees?

In today's time, plants are becoming an alternative to Christmas trees because they last longer and make the home green and lively. They take up less space and are also suitable for warmer climates. Additionally, plants are good for the environment as they purify the air and provide oxygen.

Norfolk Island Pine

The Norfolk Island Pine, also known as Araucaria heterophylla, is another option for having a living Christmas tree during the holiday season. This tree is quite different from the common pines found in Iowa. It should be kept indoors during the winter months.

Italian Cypress

The Italian Cypress is popular as a Christmas tree due to its natural, slender, and straight pyramid-like shape, which is perfect for indoor or outdoor decoration. It is a real tree that does not shed its leaves, stays green all year round, and is fragrant.

Dwarf Alberta Spruce

The Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a small, evergreen coniferous tree that is popular as an ideal "mini Christmas tree" due to its natural, pyramid-like shape. It grows slowly and can easily be kept in pots or in the garden. This plant looks like a small Christmas tree and is easy to care for.
