Poinsettia :: Poinsettia Plant Profile Care and Growing Hints
Poinsettia are a traditional christmas gift in both Australia and the Northern Hemisphere, where they flower during winter. They are grown especially for the Christmas market in Australia under controlled conditions.

In QLD Poinsettias do well throughout the year. Poinsettia do not like drafts. Lots of light (near a window) humidity if possible and keep moist. Red, Pink and White are the main colors available.




POINSETTIA PLANTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE FROM RETAIL NURSERIES.

When looking for Poinsettia look for the following qualities

  • Foliage right down the stem
  • No yellowed foliage or dropped foliage
  • Choose a symetrical plant, well balanced and not leaning to one side
  • Avoid plants that are drooping or wilting. (a good watering may not revive them)

This is the same for many plants, make sure you look carefully before you buy, if in doubt look eleswhere.

You can keep your Poinsettia outside during summer, and you can pinch it back to promote new growth. Poinsettia can be cut back during winter.
