Make your own underwater Christmas tree in just 7 easy steps

It is time to decorate your Christmas tree with baubles, bells, stars and lights! But how about ditching the traditional tree set up and experimenting with something that is fun and also extremely unique?

Aqua artist and aqua scarper, shares how to nurture an aquarium with a DIY decorative piece made up of real moss and plants to replicate a Christmas tree, but underwater. With a simple seven-step process and some products, one can have a bright and colorful tree like structure in time for Christmas which can also support fish

Place a thin layer of moss on a cylindrical sand-like product called ‘Terra Base’. The base can absorb water and support the growth of plants.

Next, place UK along with white on the Terra base. This will add a shade of red to the decor. A dash of pink can be added by attaching Chai. Ensure your base is moist at all times by using an atomizer spray. Wood and stone can be glued to the Terra base for decoration.

Once the Terra base is ready with the plants, wash and add Tropical River Sand in the tank. The sand is washed in a gentle stream of water to remove dust. It is white, which reflects light and makes the Terra base look bright. Once the sand is placed, the base can be placed in the tank along with a light source on top.

Now slowly and carefully fill the tank with water. It is important to level the sand with a flatterer and remove any floating debris with a net.

Fit a small filter apparatus and CO2 supply to the tank. Once set, a filter starter solution can be added to water followed by fertilizer product of choice.

This step involves waiting for a few days. The tree needs trimming once or twice as the moss starts to grow out and 50 per cent water has to be changed for at least a week, and then topped up with fertilizers.

You can now add fish to the tank — but only after 15 days.

This beautiful process of creating your own underwater Christmas, tree can be a fun way of spending family time during the holiday season. Children and adults of all ages can enjoy watching this little aqua-art project bloom just in time for Christmas, and the family can have a unique centerpiece to showcase while hosting guests.
