Live wreaths don’t last forever, but there are things you can do to keep yours healthy and happy throughout December. Remember that many of these are made of outdoor plants and will do better outside. (Your home’s heating system can dry them out.) Also, consider where you place them—wreaths don’t like direct sunlight. Finally, terms of care, misting every other day, front and back, will keep them from getting brown and crispy before the first holiday cocktails are served.
