How to Care for a Poinsettia Plant
To keep your poinsettia plants looking their festive best and even make them last until the next holiday season, here are some tips for caring for them:
- Keep poinsettia plant near sunlight window and maintain a temperature between 60 and 70 degrees.
- Don’t put the poinsettia plant in any kind of draft.
- Maintain a good level of humidity and water when the surface feels dry.
Once the holiday season passes, here are some other things you can do to keep your poinsettia plants healthy and thriving:
- Continue to monitor the water, temperature, and sunlight for the poinsettia plant regularly.
- Fertilize in the spring and fall seasons.
- Put the poinsettia plants outside in the summer in partially shaded area.
- In July, pinch each stem back an inch to encourage branch development and fullness in the plant.
- Start putting the plant in the dark in the evening hours as of October to help control when it re-blooms.
- Stop the evening darkness treatment toward the end of November and put it back near a window to stimulate flower buds and start the blooming process.
