Not only does the snow fall quietly, but the Advent wreath often loses its needles by the fourth Advent.
But you can counteract this with water.
The Advent wreath should last at least four weeks in most families.
Because a few days before the first Advent, the wreath is bought or tied from fir branches and candles.
So that it is still attractive until Christmas, you should mist it with water regularly.

Like the Christmas tree, the Advent wreath is also at risk of drying out because the heating air affects it.
But while you can water the Christmas tree, you have to be a little more creative with the Advent wreath to keep it fresh for a long time.
So that it keeps its needles until the fourth Sunday of Advent, you should spray it regularly with water.

Mist the Advent wreath with water every day.
Spray bottles are suitable for this, which can be adjusted so that the mist comes out of the attachment very finely.
Use normal tap water for this.
It does not have to be additionally descaled.
Alternatively, you can also carefully moisten the wreath with a cloth.
Another advantage: a slightly damp Advent wreath reduces the risk of fire.

-house journal, using
branches from robust trees such as a Nordmann fir or a silver fir.
