Poinsettia Christmas Plant
This beautiful little Festive Poinsettia plant is the perfect gift for that special someone this Christmas.
The poinsettia is a commercially important plant species of the diverse spurge family. Indigenous to Mexico and Central America, the poinsettia was first described by Europeans in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays
Although it is a succulent, poinsettia does like a reasonable amount of moisture. It will need watering at least once a week over summer (more often in pots, or when it's very hot and dry). Make sure to thoroughly soak it each time. Reduce frequency as the weather cools, but don't let it dry out completely.
Position: sunny open spot; light shade from hot midday/afternoon sun will reduce leaf scorch.
Feeding: use a long-term controlled-release fertiliser; supplement with liquid food from spring to autumn
Watering: keep moist, but not wet.
