I have a couple of questions about mistletoe... (ok so it's more than just a couple of questions lol) 1. when is the best time to pluck it out so that I can use it during the holiday season? 2. Is there a way to preserve it and keep it green and fresh looking? 3. Am I just wasting my time thinking I can do something with mistletoe? 4. Any other ideas of what I can do with this parasite?
4. Enjoy it. I'm so envious. 1. When I lived where the mistletoe grew we cut it when we were about to use it. I guess those little tubes to hold water with rubber tops that you poke the stem through would help you keep the mistletoe fresh.
I've tried soooo many times to grow mistletoe without any success. I would love to have it growing here in my garden. Let it grow and only pick it when you actually need to use it so that it's as fresh as possible.
