About the Poinsettia

Poinsettias are the most popular holiday plant in the United States with festive colors ranging from shades of red, pink, burgundy, and white. Some bracts are speckled, have colored margins, or curled leaves. Our Fantasy Poinsettias are hand painted in glittering blue, purple, opal, and gold to add some sparkle to your holiday houseplant display. Natives of Mexico, Poinsettias prefer warmer indoor environments, but keep away from hot or cold, dry air drafts. Use to decorate your home or office for the holidays, and continue to care for it as a houseplant year round. Shop our online selection of poinsettia varieties and quantities available now.


Care Notes

Keep in bright, indirect sunlight in temperatures around 60-70 degrees F. Avoid hot or cold drafts. Do not over water, Poinsettias like evenly moist to slightly dry soil. Watering with ice cubes works fine using one cube per one inch diameter of the pot, (e.g. 6″ pot = 6 ice cubes). Continue growing as a houseplant after the holidays. It can be taken outdoors for the summer and back indoors for the winter. More “Poinsettia Pointers” are available in our Petitti Gardening Guides.
