FAQs

Is this Christmas tree pre-lit?

No, the Homcom 6Ft Flocked Pencil Christmas Tree is unlit, allowing you to add your preferred lights and create your custom display.

What is the total height of the tree?

The tree stands 6 feet (180cm) tall, including the stand.

What is the diameter of the tree?

The maximum diameter of the tree is approximately 60cm (23.6 inches), giving it its slim 'pencil' profile.

How long does it take to assemble the tree?

Initial assembly of the sections is quick, but you should allocate 30-45 minutes for thorough shaping and fluffing of the branches to achieve a full, natural appearance.

Is the tree safe for use indoors?

Yes, the tree is made from flame-retardant plastic for added safety. However, it should always be kept away from open flames.

Can I use real candles on this artificial tree?

No, under no circumstances should real candles or any open flames be used on or near this artificial tree, despite its flame-retardant properties.

How do I clean the flocked branches?

To clean, gently dust the branches with a soft cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water or wet cloths, as this can affect the flocked finish.

What does 'auto-open' branches mean?

Auto-open branches are hinged, meaning they are attached directly to the center pole and automatically fall into place when you assemble the tree sections. This significantly reduces the time needed for initial setup compared to trees with hook-on branches.

Troubleshooting

My tree doesn't look as full as pictured.

The key to a full tree is thorough branch shaping. Spend an additional 15-20 minutes carefully separating and fluffing each branch tip, working from the inside out and shaping upward. This creates volume and hides gaps.

The tree feels wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the steel base is fully opened and locked into place, and all tree sections are firmly seated. Verify that the tree is placed on a completely flat and stable surface, such as hardwood or firmly carpeted flooring, not on an uneven rug or soft surface.

Some flocking (snow) is shedding.

A small amount of flocking shedding during initial setup and storage is normal. Gently shake the tree outdoors before assembly to remove any loose particles. Once set up and decorated, shedding should be minimal.

Branches are drooping after adding ornaments.

While durable, the slim profile means individual branches may not support very heavy ornaments. Distribute your decorations evenly across the tree, placing heavier items closer to the trunk where branches are strongest.

The auto-open branches aren't opening fully.

Sometimes branches can be compressed during shipping. Gently assist any stubborn branches by pulling them outwards. The auto-open feature provides the initial structure, but manual adjustment is always needed for the best look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all tree sections and the steel base from the packaging.
  2. Assemble Base: Open the steel base and secure it firmly. Ensure it's placed on a flat, stable surface.
  3. Insert Bottom Section: Place the largest (bottom) tree section into the steel base. The branches will naturally fall into an open position due to the auto-open hinges.
  4. Insert Middle Section: Place the middle tree section onto the bottom section.
  5. Insert Top Section: Place the smallest (top) tree section onto the middle section.
  6. Shape Branches: This is the most crucial step for a beautiful tree. Starting from the bottom, gently separate and fluff out individual branch tips, working outwards and upwards. Bend tips slightly to create a natural, full appearance. Allocate 30-45 minutes for thorough shaping.

Compatibility

  • Space: Ideal for compact living areas, apartments, and rooms with limited floor space due to its slim 60cm diameter.
  • Decorations: Compatible with a wide range of lights and ornaments. Distribute heavier ornaments evenly to prevent branches from drooping.

Care & Maintenance

  • Safety: Keep the tree away from naked flames to maintain its flame-retardant properties and prevent fire hazards.
  • Cleaning: Gently dust the flocked branches as needed. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning solutions, which can damage the flocking.
  • Storage: Once the season is over, carefully remove all decorations. Disassemble the tree into its three sections, gently compressing the branches. Store in the original box or a dedicated Christmas tree storage bag in a cool, dry place.
