The Joy of Living Christmas Trees: Best of Growing Joy Replay
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
Did you know that you can have a living Christmas tree in your home that can be planted and live long after the ornaments come down? I didn't know this until seven years ago when I interviewed Joe Lamp’l, otherwise known as Joe Gardener, all about how to have a living Christmas tree indoors that you plant in later years.It was a fascinating episode, and it is Part 2 of our Christmas Tree Series that we've brought back from way deep in the archives. Please remember this was like the fourth or fifth episode of the podcast, so sound quality might look a little different, but it's such great content, and you might be curious about adding a temporary houseplant Christmas tree to your collection that then can live on in perpetuity, that you can visit in years to come. I hope you love this episode and it gets you into the holiday spirit! In this episode, we learn:What a Living Christmas Tree actually isWhat the options are for using your tree after the holiday seasonThe entire process from selection to replanting of a Living Christmas TreeAverage length of time for a Living Christmas Tree to be indoorsThe secret to preserving moisture in your Living Christmas TreeThe experiment that might cause me to get two trees this year…The importance of mulchProper technique for replanting your treeUsing your tree as an heirloom Curious about living Christmas trees?Check out the full show notes and blog to learn how you can have a lasting Christmas memory with a living tree!
