Poinsettia 'Red' Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

The Poinsettia 'Red' thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch its delicate leaves. A well-lit spot near a window or on a table with good light is ideal.

Watering Requirements

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as the Poinsettia does not like soggy soil. Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid root rot.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

Ideal temperatures for this plant range from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Poinsettias prefer slightly higher humidity, so misting or placing the plant in a humid environment will help maintain its beauty during the winter months.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed your Poinsettia with a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding after the plant blooms to keep it healthy until next year.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot your Poinsettia every year to refresh the soil and ensure healthy growth. Trim back any overgrown stems after the holiday season to maintain its shape for the next year’s bloom.

Decorating with the Poinsettia 'Red'

Its striking red bracts make the Poinsettia a perfect holiday centerpiece. Place it on your coffee table, dining table, or near your entryway to add a festive and colorful touch to your holiday decor.
