While millions of
poinsettias will be purchased
for the holiday season, many
mistakenly think their utility
ends once New Year's Day
has come and gone. But with
proper care poinsettia plants
can continue to thrive and
bring warmth and beauty to
a home long aer the holiday
decorations have been tucked
away.
• Choose a hearty plant.
Choose poinsettia plants that
have buds which are, ideally,
not yet open.
• Poinsettias prefer a
room temperature between
60 and 68 F during the day
and 10 degrees cooler at night.
Humidity levels between
20 and 50 percent are ideal.
Group plants on water-filled
trays full of pebbles to help
Simple ways to prolong
the life of poinsettias
increase humidity levels.
• Place plants near a bright
windowsill but not in direct
sunlight. Do not let a poinsettia
touch cold window panes.
• Keep poinsettias away
from dray doors, windows,
radiators, or fireplaces.
• Wait until the surface of
the compost dries out before
watering the plant anew. Also,
the decorative foil wrapper that
covers pots can trap water and
lead to root rot.
• Cut back plants. Come
mid-March, cut back the
plant by half to encourage
new shoots. e plants also
can be placed outside in the
spring aer the risk of frost has
passed. Bring poinsettias back
in around mid-September to
early October to force them to
bloom again.
