We’ve gathered some plant-inspired, easy-to-do, and eco-friendly decoration tips. Let’s make your tree shine in the most natural way possible!
Make your holidays greener, brighter, and full of plant-friendly charm
1. Go Natural With Dried Orange Slices & Cinnamon
Dried citrus slices bring beautiful warm tones and a subtle festive scent. Add cinnamon sticks tied with twine for extra holiday charm.
Tip from Flora: Keep slices thin for better light shine-through!
For even more fragrance, add star anise or cloves to your decorations. These natural materials dry beautifully and keep your tree looking warm and inviting all season long.
2. Mini Pinecones for Woodland Magic
Pinecones add texture and an earthy feel. You can leave them as they are or lightly brush them with white paint for a snowy touch.
Pair them with small eucalyptus or rosemary bundles for an extra botanical look.
For a more polished look, you can even dip the edges in gold paint or eco-friendly glitter. Pinecones also help visually balance lighter ornaments, giving your tree a grounded, natural shape.
3. Eco-Friendly Ornaments Made of Paper or Wood
Handmade wooden stars, kraft-paper ornaments, or origami shapes add elegance without harming the environment.
They’re lightweight, recyclable, and perfect for a nature-loving home.
Plus, they’re a fun DIY activity for a cozy evening indoors. Natural textures like wood grain or recycled paper pair beautifully with greenery, giving your tree a warm and organic aesthetic.
Make It Your Own
There’s no wrong way to decorate a Christmas tree — especially when nature guides you. Add elements that feel personal, cozy, and meaningful. Your tree should tell your story.
And if you need help identifying any plants or greens you’re using this holiday season, I’m always just a tap away.
Happy decorating!
