Mini Christmas trees: 5 small plants you can decorate inside your apartments

Christmas is all about the festive cheer but lugging in a tree taller and larger than you and decorating it with thousands of ornaments is not a feat that is achievable every year. Sometimes because of the lack of dollars in the pocket or time in the hands, you want to have a mini celebration, where the festive cheer is loud but the hustle is small.

In this case, opting for plant alternatives that are like mini Christmas trees and can be decorated as well is a holy grail, one that you should quickly attach yourself to. This Christmas, you can keep the fun full on but the work a bit moderate by choosing these mini Christmas trees, and worry not, you can still keep your gifts around them!

Dwarf Alberta Spruce

A Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a slow-growing evergreen tree that has a shape similar to a Christmas tree.

Even when mature, it retains the pyramid shape and can be sheared to maintain the size. You can easily carry it inside your apartment and hang ornaments around its blue-green foliage.

Norfolk Pine

With their sparse yet lovable branches, the Norfolk Pine trees are a common small alternative to the big Christmas tree. These are tropical in nature and can stay indoors all year long. Thus, the festive charm can remain inside your house even after the New Year.

Boulevard Cypress

Want a small tree but would love the illusion of height? Well, then opt for a Boulevard Cypress tree. It has a natural pyramid shape with a silver-blue hue that is perfect for adorning ornaments and adding the Christmas aesthetic to your humble abode. Since it grows slowly, reaching around six feet tall in ten years, this can be your Christmas tree for many Christmases to come.

Emerald Petite Arborvitae

These can fit inside your home and be pruned into any interesting shape along with a pyramid.

While they grow up to at least six feet tall, you can keep pruning them over time. Their deep green colour matches that of the Christmas tree, yet their size saves the hassle.

Tuscan Blue Rosemary

Because love grows where my rosemary goes and everybody knows, like me! You don't even need the Christmas scent with this one, what else are you looking for? Santa? It isn't exactly mini in size but its cone-like shape can mimic the Christmas cheer and its needle-shaped foliage is perfect for hanging small and light ornaments. Christmas is a big celebration, it's like a big hug to all the people you love and your lord. But when you want the cheer more and the hassle less, especially in a small space or with big families, these small Christmas tree alternatives can be god sent saviours, literally!
