Traditionally, each family displays ''[[cây nêu]]'', an artificial [[New Year tree]] consisting of a [[bamboo]] pole {{Convert|5-6|m|ft|abbr=on}} long. The top end is usually decorated with many objects, depending on the locality, including good luck charms, [[origami]] fish, cactus branches, and more.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://laodong.vn/van-hoa/tuc-trong-cay-neu-ngay-tet-1138246.ldo|title= Tục trồng cây nêu ngày Tết|last= Lý|first= Viết Trường|date= 15 January 2023|website= laodong.vn|publisher= Lao Động |access-date= |quote=}} </ref> 

At Tết, every house is usually decorated by [[Ochna integerrima|Yellow Apricot blossoms]] (''hoa mai'') in the central and southern parts of Vietnam, [[Peach|peach blossoms]] (''hoa đào'') in the northern part of Vietnam, or [[St. John's wort]] (''hoa ban'') in the mountain areas. In the north, some people (especially the elite in the past){{citation needed|date=August 2016}} also decorate their house with [[Prunus mume|plum blossoms]] (also called ''hoa mơ'' in Vietnamese but referring to a totally different species from mickey-mouse blossoms).<ref>{{cite web |url= https://laodong.vn/photo/mo-rung-tinh-khoi-tuyet-dep-vuot-hang-tram-cay-so-xuong-thu-do-don-tet-655816.ldo|title= Mơ rừng tinh khôi tuyệt đẹp vượt hàng trăm cây số xuống thủ đô đón Tết|last= |first= |date= February 2019|website= laodong.vn|publisher= Lao Động|access-date= |quote=}} </ref> In the north or central, the [[kumquat]] tree is a popular decoration for the living room during Tết.

Vietnamese people also decorate their homes with [[Hòn non bộ]] and flowers such as [[chrysanthemums]] (''hoa cúc''), [[Tagetes|marigolds]] (''vạn thọ'') symbolizing longevity, [[Celosia|cockscombs]] (''mào gà'') in southern Vietnam, and [[Narcissus tazetta|paperwhites]] (''thủy tiên'') and [[orchid]]s (''hoa lan'') in northern Vietnam.
