How to Care For Your Holiday Topiaries
Topiaries make a delightful decoration for the winter season. Follow these tips to keep your holiday topiaries looking like new.
Holiday topiaries make a delightful decoration for the winter season and have become a “secret weapon” for many decorators. With the holidays coming up, there has never been a more perfect time to incorporate themed topiaries into you décor. Follow these tips to keep your holiday topiaries alive and healthy well after the new year.
Keeping Your Holiday Topiaries Hydrated
When it comes to keeping your winter topiary looking fresh, there is nothing more important than keeping it watered. Topiaries can become severely dehydrated without showing a single symptom. Topiaries and other varieties of ornamental plants can dry out before a problem is even detected. Once they start to shrivel, they will not recover.
As soon as your topiary arrives, check the top layer of potting soil to see if it needs water. If the soil is dry, give your topiary a good drink of water right away. Your topiary will need to be watered at least every three days from here on out.

Your topiary will also benefit greatly from regular misting. This will wash away dust and give your topiary a dewy hydrated look.
Choosing a Location for Your Holiday Topiaries
Where will you place your topiary? Indoors? Outdoors? This will make a difference. Make sure you choose a place with a good amount of sunlight and air circulation. A Topiary made of ivy will flourish in cooler, brighter conditions. If your topiary is a symmetrical shape, consider turning it once weekly to help it keep an even shape.

For topiaries that will be living indoors make sure they are not over exposed to the heat of your thermostat. Repeated exposure to sporadic hot and cold temperatures could affect the health of your topiary. Windows that face East, West, or South will give your topiary the proper amount of sunshine that it needs.
