In three weeks we will celebrate Christmas. Their main symbol is the Christmas tree, but it turns out that you can replace it with miniature conifers or potted plants with decorative leaves or flowers. Just add a few decorations and you have an unconventional but equally beautiful Christmas tree.

Decorate your home this Christmas in an original way – instead of a Christmas tree, choose other species that will impress with their appearance. Don’t want to give up traditional spruce or fir? Then place small conifers and potted plants in other rooms. Check out this list of plant decorations for Christmas.

Miniature Christmas tree – small conifers instead of a large spruce or fir

A miniature Christmas tree is especially suitable for smaller homes because, unlike a large spruce or fir tree, it does not take up much space. What conifers can you use instead of a traditional Christmas tree?

  • Holly

You can replace large spruce or fir with holly, which is used for wreaths and garlands. It looks great when you place its sprigs in a vase or planter. Thanks to its decorative dark green leaves and red fruits, it no longer needs any decoration. You must not forget to take care of it, because the twigs dry up after a few days and lose their shine.

  • Cypress trees and cypress trees

Another proposal for a miniature Christmas tree are cypress trees, which we recommend placing in a glass vase. Decorate them like a traditional Christmas tree, ie hang ornaments, chains and beads on them.

Instead of cypresses, cypresses will dowhich are available in almost every hypermarket. It is also worth using Christmas decorations on them.

  • Miniature spruce

We are talking about white spruce (variety „Conic“). It looks great, tied with a red ribbon. However, do not forget to display it before Christmas itself, because in a heated room it quickly drops needles. Therefore, after a few days, place the tree outside and insulate its pot so that it hibernates until spring.

These potted plants can be used to make a Christmas tree

There are many potted plants that can successfully replace the traditional Christmas tree. You can make beautiful Christmas decorations from them. What are they?

  • Christmas rose

Arrange pots with poinsettias on a pyramid-shaped flower stand. You will thus create a Christmas tree from poinsettias, which does not need to be decorated additionally.

  • Lantern

Decorate the branches of conifers with the leaves of the “Woody” lantern and arrange them in the shape of a Christmas tree. You can also tie them with a ribbon and hang glittery decorations on them. Spray the tree with soft water once every few days.

You can also decorate the old plate with a candle, which is shaped like a Christmas tree. You can also use poinsettias, Christmas cacti or cyclamen for this decoration.

  • Ficus

Create a Christmas tree from the cut ficus by hanging Christmas decorations and pine cones on it. You can replace it with benjamin or another tall potted plant.

  • Orchid

Wrap the roots of the “Phalaenopsis” orchid with moss and attach it to a metal candlestick. Looks great with candlesbut do not set them on fire so as not to damage the plant.

On the frame in the shape of a Christmas tree, we recommend hanging delicate stems of an exotic orchid, e.g. flat-leaf vanilla. You can also use another hanging plant, for example ivy. It will also be useful in this case spray it with soft water once every few days.
