How it works

The Problem Tree Tender Solves

No More Crawling, Spilling, or Guessing. Every holiday season, thousands of families struggle to keep their Christmas trees hydrated. Crawling under branches, refilling awkward stands, and cleaning up spills have become part of the routine — until now.

The Tree Tender eliminates the hassle by automatically feeding your tree the water it needs, when it needs it. Preventing your tree from becoming a fire risk.

How to Use Tree Tender

Set Up in a few Simple Steps.

The Tree Tender is designed to work with almost any tree stand and takes just a few minutes to set up:

1. Insert the blue tubing end piece into the blue valve on the outside of the bucket and twist ¼ turn. You will feel it click into place.

2. Use the enclosed clean wipe to clean a place on the inside of your tree stand where you will attach the float valve. Make sure the area is clean and dry.

3. On the other end of the tubing is the float valve. There is a black piece of Velcro attached to the float valve. Carefully remove the thin plastic film from the back of the Velcro piece without removing it from the valve. Carefully place the sticky side of the Velcro in the area you have cleaned and press it against the inside of your tree stand. Press it for 30 seconds. Be careful not to dent the float valve, just press firmly. Make sure that there is at least 1/2” of free space under the bottom of the float valve in the stand.

4. Fill the Tree Tender bucket about ¾ full of clean water.

5. Make sure there is not any water leaking around the blue valve near the bottom of the bucket. If there is any water leaking out by the blue valve, slightly tighten the plastic nut on the inside of the bucket until the leak stops. (Every Tree Tender was tested before it was shipped out and was leak free.)

6. Place the white lid on the Tree Tender and secure it by pushing it onto the bucket.

7. Relax — Tree Tender’s gravity system automatically regulates water flow to keep your tree hydrated for days.

8. The water level in the bucket must remain at least 2 inches above the top of your tree stand for the Tree Tender to work properly. This is best accomplished by placing the Tree Tender on a chair, stool or some other sturdy elevated surface.

9. Check the water level once a day to make sure it is where it needs to be.

No electricity, no refilling every few hours, and no bending under branches — just simple holiday convenience.

The Science Behind the Simplicity

Tree Tender uses a simple yet effective gravity-fed system to keep your tree consistently hydrated. Once the bucket is filled, water flows gently through the coiled hose into the tree stand. The gravity action automatically stops and starts based on your tree’s water level — no pumps, cords, or electronics required.

Compatibility & Safety

The Tree Tender is designed to fit nearly all standard Christmas tree stands with a simple tube-and-valve system. There’s minimal installation — just place the tube securely into the stand and let it do the rest.

Tree Tender is made with BPA-free, non-toxic materials and uses no electricity or batteries.

Maintenance & Care

Its steady watering system helps prevent tree drying and reduces fire risk — keeping your home safer while keeping your tree vibrant.

When the season’s over, simply empty the bucket and the tube, coil the tube without removing the float valve, put i9t in the bucket, close the lid and store it for next year.
