Poinsettia

DETAILS OF THE PONSETTIA

Poinsettias can be enjoyed from November to March and can be integrated into your home as an outdoor or indoor plant. You choose! Furthermore, although they are initially seasonal plants, if you apply the right care to them, they can look good all year round and even become a bush as long as they manage to adapt to the temperatures outside.

It is a plant native to Mexico. In fact, the Aztecs called it cuetlaxóchitl and it was used as an offering for the goddess Tonantzin, mother earth. Did you know that the native Mexican people used poinsettia to dye textile garments and as an herbal remedy?

The Christmas plant is always the perfect gift at this time of year.

Common names: Poinsettia, Mana angangbi (Manipuri), Easter flower, Flame leaf, Lobster plant, Christmas plant, Christmas flower and Mexican flame leaf.    

Scientific name: Euphorbia pulcherrima.

Mainly indoor plant, also outdoor.

Ideal temperature: the ideal temperature for it is a maximum of 21ºC during the day and 16ºC at night. Poinsettias are sensitive to temperature changes, avoid leaving your plant in places that are prone to drafts or dry environments. Otherwise, the leaves will fall off before their time!

Light: place your flowerpot in a place with a lot of natural lighting. So, the leaves will shine healthy and strong. Darkness or low light can cause the leaves to turn yellow or even they can fall off. Place your Poinsettia next to a window but without drafts and avoid direct sunlight.

Irrigation: its watering should be moderate. Ideally water it a couple of times a week and always directed into the pot, avoiding wetting its bracts and flowers. Try to leave your plant for about 15 minutes on a plate with water so that the moisture absorbs it little by little. This is the recommended way because it is better than watering it directly. The plant will be happy if you water it with rainwater. But if it is not possible, let the tap water stand for 24 hours.

Nutrients: during the flowering season every 15 days. Follow the indications of the CitySens nutrients.

Substrate: the substrate must have good drainage and must be well aerated.

Other care: the stems of the Poinsettia are brittle and can break, so you should be careful that it does not suffer blows or rubbing.
