Poinsettia Pointers• Avoid exposing your poinsettia to freezing conditions. Do not leave it in the car while you finish shopping. Take it home and place it inside the house as soon as possible after purchasing it. • Place your poinsettia in a spot with bright natural light, but do not expose it to direct sunlight. • Do not place your poinsettia in an area where it will be exposed to drafts, heat from appliances, radiators, or ventilation ducts. • The color of your poinsettia will last longer with temperatures around 65 degrees F during the day and 60-65 degrees F at night. • The soil should be kept moderately moist; check every few days and water when the soil surface feels dry to the touch. Before watering, remove the plant from decorative pot covers or foil wrapping; water to saturate the soil, and then allow the pot to drain. Do not let the plant sit in standing water! |
