Live Red Poinsettia in a White Birch Planter

Live Red Poinsettia in a White Birch Planter

Deck your halls with the top-selling holiday plant. Its showy red blooms are actually bracts (petal-like leaves). Poinsettias naturally bloom in winter when days are short and nights are long. After the Christmas season, a well-tended poinsettia can make a stylish year-round houseplant. Ours is designed in a white birch planter, creating a warm, woodsy feel. For more holiday spirit, add our classic evergreen-scented candle.

Tending Tip: When the flowers start to age after the holidays, cut off the old blooming stems to encourage new growth; poinsettias will reliably bloom by the holidays if given 14 hours of nonstop nighttime darkness for two months, starting in early September; they will naturally start blooming with nights become long and dark, usually later in winter.

Fertilizing: Refrain from feeding poinsettias in the winter months; begin feeding them with a balanced fertilizer as directed starting in mid-spring and ending by early fall.
