Blooming Poinsettia
Poinsettia enjoys a warm temperate to sub-tropical climate. It is a succulent, although its leaves are not typically fleshy. They are mid-green and occasionally tinged with red. The plant’s stems may also sometimes be red.
Poinsettia exudes a milky sap when its stems are cut or damaged. Avoid skin contact, as the sap can cause irritation in some people.
In the garden, plants may grow to 4m tall and will need regular pruning to keep them within bounds. There are also many dwarf varieties available that grow to only 1–2m.
The star feature of poinsettias is the “flower” produced at the ends of branches. In pots and in the garden, these can completely smother the leaves during the flowering period.
Poinsettia usually flowers in winter. To achieve colour for Christmas in the southern hemisphere, plants are grown in light- and temperature-controlled glasshouses to trick them into thinking it’s winter, not summer.
Many varieties of poinsettia are available, with variegated foliage and bracts ranging from creamy white to blush pink. Most are more compact, and bushier than the original red species.
Blooming Poinsettia
Shown price is for 1 potted plant only.
Poinsettia plant care is relatively easy. 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.
