Care guide

Fresh wreath care starts the minute the box arrives.

Live wreaths are natural products. The biggest care wins are simple: unbox quickly, shape gently, avoid heat, avoid direct sun, and match misting to the material.

Short answer

To care for a fresh wreath, unbox it promptly, fluff it gently, keep it cool and out of direct sunlight, mist as directed, and hang it in a sheltered spot away from heat and strong wind.

Unboxing checklist

Open the shipping box as soon as possible. Remove the wreath carefully, support the base, and fluff branches or leaves with light hands. Do not yank, shake, or crush tender stems.

  • Inspect the wreath on arrival.
  • Remove packing materials without pulling through the greenery.
  • Shape the wreath before hanging it.
  • Give the wreath a cool, shaded placement.

Misting and moisture

Many live wreaths benefit from light misting, but soaking is not the goal. Eucalyptus, olive, pine, cedar, and herbs should be misted gently according to product instructions. Delicate floral or dried-transition wreaths need more caution.

Placement rules

Heat is the enemy. Avoid radiators, fireplaces in active use, direct sun, hot glass storm doors, and exposed windy porches. A covered porch, interior wall, cool entry, or shaded mantel is usually better.

Useful answers

Fresh wreath questions

Should I mist a fresh wreath every day?

Some wreaths, especially eucalyptus, benefit from daily light misting. Others need less. Follow the product instructions and avoid soaking the wreath.

Can a fresh wreath hang outside?

Yes, if the spot is sheltered. Direct sun, heavy rain, strong wind, and hot doors shorten the fresh-looking window.

How long does a fresh wreath last?

Most fresh wreaths look best for one to four weeks when kept cool, lightly misted, and protected from direct sun, heat, heavy rain, and strong wind. Some dried or preserved styles can remain decorative much longer.

What size wreath should I buy for a front door?

A 20 inch wreath is the safest standard choice for many front doors. A 12 to 16 inch wreath works for narrow spaces, interior doors, pairs, or windows. A 24 inch wreath reads more dramatic on large doors.

Which live wreath smells the strongest?

Eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, pine, and cedar are the most fragrance-forward options. Magnolia, olive, and boxwood are usually chosen more for shape, texture, and color.
