Christmas Tree Flocking: What Is It and Is It Safe?

A question about the white "snow" on flocked Christmas trees: it's finely ground cellulose (paper) mixed with water-soluble adhesive. The expert confirmed it's not considered harmful. The material is non-toxic and used for decorative effect only.

Flocking is applied commercially or with DIY kits. It can be messy to clean up but poses no health risk to people or pets. Trees should still be kept watered if they're live, though flocking may slow water uptake slightly.

Note: Flocked trees cannot be recycled in many municipal programs—check local guidelines.
