How to Grow Mistletoe at Home

This “Christmas Plant” Does WAY More Than You Think!

Pick the Right Tree

→ To grow mistletoe, plant it on a live tree—not in soil or pots. It grows best on apple, hawthorn, willow, or lime trees.

Use Fresh Berries

→ Mistletoe seeds are inside fresh, sticky berries that help them stick to tree branches and grow.

Be Patient

→ Takes 1 year to sprout. 4–5 years to make berries.
