[@Vilageidiotx]Trees live longer with warm water. Mother was trying to get it warmer but fell asleep and let it boil which almost turn the pot into slag before I caught the smell of something going wrong downstairs.

The trees only going to be in the house for a month.

Also, do you have a water heater? Normally your sink should heat your water for you. 

Your families weird. I mean, your mother apparently decided to not only boil some water to keep a tree that's going to exist for a month alive but also go into a position where she could easily fall asleep.
