Poinsettias

How to Care for your Poinsettia:

• Place your plant in indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours per day.



• Provide room temperatures between 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Poinsettias are sensitive to cold so don't expose plants to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Don't place your plant near cold drafts or excessive heat. Avoid placing your poinsettia near appliances, fireplaces or ventilating ducts.

• Water your plant when the soil feels dry to the touch. Don't over water your plant or allow it to sit in standing water. Always remove a plant from any decorative container or wrap before watering and allow the water to drain completely.

• Don't fertilize your poinsettia when it's in bloom. The best time to fertilize your plant is AFTER the blooming season with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer.

• When transporting your plant, be sure to use a roomy shopping bag or something similar to protect the plant from the cold or chilling winds.
