Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant color. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners where the foliage may lose its intensity.
Poinsettias prefer moderate watering. Check the soil regularly and water when the top inch feels dry to the touch, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent water from sitting at the roots.
Euphorbia pulcherrima contains a milky sap that can be irritating if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin. It is best to keep this plant out of reach of curious pets and small children.
The vibrant red bracts are seasonal and typically appear during the winter months. After the flowering season, the plant will primarily display green foliage, though it can be encouraged to bloom again with specific light-cycle management.
No, the Poinsettia 'Red' is completely fragrance-free. This makes it an excellent choice for holiday tabletops or dining areas where you prefer not to have competing floral aromas.
