- Unwrap your poinsettia carefully and place in
indirect light. Keep the plant from
touching cold windows.
- Keep poinsettias away from warm or cold drafts from
radiators, air registers or open doors and windows.
- Ideally poinsettias require temperatures of
60 to 70°F. High temperatures will shorten the plant’s life.
- Check the soil daily. Be sure to punch holes in
foil so water can drain into a saucer. Water when soil is dry. Allow water
to drain into the saucer and discard excess water. Wilted plants
will tend to drop bracts sooner.
- Fertilize the poinsettia if you keep it past the
holiday season. Apply a houseplant fertilizer once a month. Do not
fertilize when it is in bloom.
- Poinsettias will look nice through the holidays, and for a number of weeks thereafter.
