How to Decorate Your Houseplants for Christmas
Things You’ll Need:
Christmas Tree Ornaments
Houseplants
String Lights
Extension Cords
Step1
Assess your houseplant situation. How many do you have? How big are they? Are they placed effectively, or do you need to rearrange them for the season?
Step2
Get out all your lights and ornaments and divide them up. Every plant of reasonable size should get a string of lights, and the ornaments should be divided by size. (Put chunky ornaments on the rubber tree, which has strong branches and big, thick leaves; put the tiny, delicate ornaments on the asparagus fern.)
Step3
Put the lights on the plants first, making sure the bulbs don't touch the leaves (leaves can scorch from the heat). Remember, you'll need some excess so that the lights will plug in; rig extension cords if you need to.
Step4
Hang the decorations on the plants, being careful not to overstress the branches. (On delicate plants, you'll probably want to hang the ornaments close to the main stem.) If the ornaments seem too heavy for the plants, hang them on the light cord or along the rim of the pot.
