Caring for your Poinsettia
Before you tuck your new poinsettia into a corner or on top of the fridge and forget about it until you move it to the garbage can, read below!
Place your new poinsettia in a bright spot, away from cold and hot drafts. (We’ve probably all witnessed the 100% leaf drop that can occur when they catch a scent of cold air).
Water your poinsettia regularly. Allow the top couple of inches of soil to dry out, then water again!
Unlike common practice, poinsettias do not thrive off of neglect and wishful thinking. With proper care, poinsettias can last well into January or February. You can even transplant your poinsettia, and use as a patio plant in the summer, then attempt to get it to re-flower the following year.
