Live White Poinsettia in a White Birch Planter

Nothing adds holiday elegance like a snowy white poinsettia. Poinsettias naturally bloom, showing off creamy white bracts (petal-like leaves) 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. Our white poinsettia is potted in a white birch planter, for a warm, woodsy feel. We also offer a red poinsettia.

Details

Botanical Name: Euphorbia pulcherrima

Common Name: Poinsettia

Origin: Central America

White poinsettia has white flowers and flowering centers
Arrives in a natural white birch container

Available in 2 sizes:

Small: 4" grows up to measure overall approximately 10-12"H

Large: 6" grows up to measure overall approximately 16-18"H

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.
