How to plant & care for Poinsettia
Water your poinsettia deeply when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch. Poinsettias do not like to be overwatered!
Poinsettias thrive in an indoor spot with full indirect sunlight.
After you have enjoyed your poinsettia for the Winter season, you can prune back the stems to 4-6 inches in length. This will get them ready for the following year!
Cut off a 6-8 in section of one of the Poinsettia stems and root either in water or soil. If rooting in soil, be sure to place into a new pot with nutrient dense soil. If rooting in water, once the Poinsettia begins to root, place into nutrient dense soil.
After your Poinsettia has finished blooming, around April timeframe, apply a 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer once a month until your Poinsettia beings to bloom again in the Winter season.
Diseases often seen on Poinsettia
The most common disease that occurs among Poinsettias is root rot. To avoid root rot, be sure to place your Poinsettia in well-draining soil and wait until the soil is dry to the touch before watering again.
