We bought a Christmas tree in a pot in the vain hope that we'll manage to keep it alive until next christmas!! The pot it's in is small with just enough room for the roots. Should I repot it now or wait til maybe spring? Want to keep it in a pot cos I'm not digging it up every year even though it would probably do better in the garden. Thank you.

Thanks Seaburngirl. Do you mean gradually move it to cooler areas before putting it outside because our house is tiny and it's already out?

You might also want to check if this is a proper pot grown tree or one dug up and dumped in a pot. If the later there is, sadly, little chance of survival.

Looking at the size of the pot I suspect you might have a point there Moon grower. Oh well, I'll lavish it with as much TLC as I can and hope it survives. Might be an idea just get an artificial one now while the sales are on!!

I 'd move it gradually into cooler areas and then mid spring repot then. Put in its summer space watch the watering and enjoy.
