I have made a wreath out of cut greens my door & Id like to make one for indoor, will the greens stay green ?

They will for about two weeks if you soak it in water.

they will if you spray them with clear coat varnish, and let it dry. before hanging.
Reply:If they are coniferous in origin (pine, etc.) they may stay green for months, but they will dry out, become brittle, and lose needles within a week in a warm (indoor) environment, maybe two or more outside depending on the temperature. Soaked in plain water for at least an hour every couple-few days they will last a couple-few weeks (in cold temperatures, soak once a week and they will last well beyond the holiday season). Soaked in a solution of half glycerin, half water for a week or two they will last for years and still be pliable (the glycerin replaces the water inside the leaves), though the color may darken somewhat.
