In the world of landscaping, the health of species plays a crucial role in the selection of fir trees. Coniferous species, such as firs, typically thrive in mountainous areas due to their need for expansive spaces to develop. They exhibit adaptability to climate changes, although caution is necessary with high heat exposure as they require a sense of seasonal transition.
When it comes to the terrain, essential actions must be taken beforehand, such as planning gardening techniques to achieve a healthy garden. The use of sustainable practices, including the use of natural fertilizers during the fertilization period and the integration of systems like automatic irrigation that respect ecosystems, helps reduce resource wastage. During colder seasons, coherence in species care is vital, reducing the frequency of watering as they enter a hibernation period, and keeping the soil free from leaves or debris that may harm vegetation.
During the festive season, trees adorned for a Christmas ambiance can suffer damage to their branches due to decorations. It’s essential to monitor the weight and size of the elements placed on them.
The Fir Tree and Its Christmas Aroma: In landscaping, the fir tree adds a distinctive touch during the Christmas season with its special aroma and decoration. However, it’s not just firs that are synonymous with Christmas; species like cedars, Picea glauca ‘Conica,’ cypresses, yews, or hollies are examples that evoke the holiday spirit. Expert landscapist Fernando Pozuelo advocates for garden decoration without modifying species. “Sometimes, due to the garden’s location, the fir tree may be a plant that disrupts the harmony of the landscape. We can always use other types of species and evoke the Christmas spirit without the need to cut down forests. Every plant species can be sustainably decorated to evoke that Christmas scene in our gardens.”
Trend in Outdoor Christmas Decoration: Connecting with Nature: This year, the landscaping trend for Christmas decoration is to connect with nature. To achieve a sustainable Christmas appearance in the garden, it’s crucial to use natural and environmentally friendly elements. Items such as mistletoe, pinecones, bunches of dried plants, or garlands made from recycled leaves create sustainable, eco-friendly decorations that blend with the plant species. Lighting is a key factor that adds warmth to the environment. The use of candles or low-consumption LED lights is prevalent this season.
And Inside Homes? Decorating the interiors of homes with a winter appearance is a current trend. Bringing the beauty of nature into the living spaces of a house can be done sustainably without resorting to fast-fashion decorations. Elements like wood, providing natural texture, essential oils for Christmas scents, or candles for warmth, can be seamlessly incorporated into the decoration to evoke Christmas sensations in homes.
