Conifers feel more comfortable at low temperatures and do not lose their needles as quickly as in a heated house. That's why a living Christmas tree in a pot is perfect for decorating your balcony or terrace for Christmas. Even if you don't have space for a large Nordmann fir on the balcony, there are enough dwarf forms with dense growth.

To protect the plant from frost, it is also recommended to wrap the bucket in bubble wrap and then cover it with a colored jute bag.
