Caring for Poinsettias
Keep your plants thriving long past Boxing Day (through to Easter if you’re lucky!) with these simple care tips:
- Poinsettias don’t like fluctuating temperatures and prefer a steady temperature over 13C.
- The best location is in a brightly lit room, out of direct sunlight and away from drafts, radiators and electrical equipment.
- To ensure good colour, mist spray your plants daily to raise the humidity.
- Overwatering can damage the plant too. As a general rule, only water when the compost surface has dried out.
- Feeding is essential for a long lasting display. Feed withWestland Indoor Plant Food every two weeks when watering.
