Pruning Wisdom

Post-blooming, typically in late Winter or early Spring, consider pruning your poinsettia to encourage bushier growth. Trim back the stems to around 6-8 inches from the soil level.

Lighting Matters

Place your Poinsettia in a well-lit spot, preferably one with bright, indirect light. While they love brightness, direct sunlight can be harsh. Strike a balance to keep their color vibrant and their leaves healthy.

Poinsettias: A Splash of Red Radiance

Characteristics
Poinsettias, with their vibrant red bracts, have become synonymous with the holiday season.
These plants, native to Central America, offer a burst of colour and warmth during the Winter months.
The bracts, often mistaken for flowers, surround the inconspicuous yellow flowers at the center, creating a visually stunning display.
Beyond red, Poinsettias now come in various shades, including creamy whites and soft pinks, adding versatility to their festive appeal.
Care Tips

Sunlight: Place your Poinsettia in bright, indirect light for at least six hours a day.
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, avoiding drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.
