The holiday season approaches, we'd like to take this opportunity to extend our best wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season.

After Holidays Poinsettias Care.

Poinsettias are a classic plant used to decorate homes for the holidays. The brightly colored bracts of the poinsettia are often called flowers. But the flowers of the poinsettia are very small and found in the center of the colorful bracts.

Poinsettias when kept in an ideal environment, will hold their brightly colored bracts for months.

The Poinsettia is sensitive to incorrect temperatures, too much water or poor light. With the following Care Tips, you can enjoy your poinsettias after the holiday season.


After the holiday, bring the poinsettia onto a light windowsill. Take off the outer paper and water well.
Continue to water until you take your
poinsettia outside for summer. Trim them back again around July 4th and Aug 1st then bring them indoors around Labor Day to condition for winter color. The plants need 16 hours total darkness for 10 weeks to start setting the colorful flower bracts.

Temperature

To keep the plant in bloom, maintain it at a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees F during the daylight hours and, if possible, move it to a cooler place at night.

Take Care of It

Keep a mature poinsettia moist but not soaking. Poinsettias love humid conditions and will benefit from daily misting, especially in dry conditions. Poinsettias do not like extreme temperature changes so keep away from vents, drafts, and fireplaces. Sixty to 70-degree temperatures are best while poinsettias are in bloom. Do not apply fertilizer to blooming poinsettias.
