christmas tree mold

Christmas is a special holidays when loved ones gather all over the world to celebrate. They eat delicious food, give gifts to each other and have special decorations in their homes with the beautiful Christmas tree also. But there is one thing to know about Christmas trees that many of us may not think about: Christmas tree mold. Yep, it sounds a little weird and unusual, but Christmas tree mold can cause serious problems for you and your family. It can make you sick, and it can decay the lovely decorations that you’ve worked hard to hang up. In this article, we’ll learn things you didn’t know about Christmas tree mold, why it can jeopardize your health, how to stop it from growing in your home and what to do if you find it so that you clean up safely. When it comes to how to use a humidifier, this is the advice from HUOTE — caring for your home space and body.

Christmas tree mold is a type of mold that can develop on real and fake Christmas trees alike, as well as wreaths and garlands you might hang around your home. Mold begins as tiny particles known as spores (they can travel into your home through the air or be carried in on the tree itself). We're talking about a type of mold that loves warm and damp spaces, which is just what surrounds a Christmas tree while it's in your home. If you have a live Christmas tree and neglect to take proper care of it, like watering it too much or not allowing it to properly dry out before bringing it in the house, mold can start forming on the tree. Once mold starts to form, it can move onto other surfaces in your house such as your walls, furniture and even in your carpets. And that’s why it’s so crucial to monitor your Christmas tree and decorations closely.

The Dangers Associated with Christmas Tree Mold

Mold on your Christmas tree can be harmful to you and your family — particularly if someone in your household has allergies, asthma or other breathing problems. These tiny mold spores can irritate your nose, throat and lungs, which may lead to coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. In some instances of mold exposure, it can lead to more severe health concerns, like infections that target your lungs. It can also ruin your decorations if the mold clings to your Christmas tree, and everything starts to look old, or even fully spoiled. Knowing this is necessary to protect your family and preserve your decorations.

The good news is there are a number of easy steps you can take to help prevent Christmas tree mold from taking root in your home. If you are going to purchase a real Christmas tree, that is, too — just enough not to be good (well being) and fresh. Inspect the palm for signs of mold or damage before you buy it. When you take it home, shake the tree well to remove loose needles or debris. It’s also a good idea to cut the stump short, which will give you a fresh cut and allow for better water absorption. Get a strong stand that has room for lots of water under the tree, and keep it filled throughout the holidays. When Christmas wraps up, if you need to (or want to) take the tree down, don’t just leave it outside where it can still disseminate mold spores — dispose of it properly.
