Also,

  • Water when the potting soil feels dry to the touch, but before the plant wilts.
  • Avoid allowing the plant to sit in water for more than 30 minutes, otherwise the roots will die and rot.

These holiday plants prefer normal room temperature.

  1. Keep them from getting too warm -- they age quickly above 80F.
  2. Poinsettias are also sensitive to cold.
  3. Keep them away from drafts, and wrap them up in plastic when transporting them outdoors if temperatures are below 50F.

Give your poinsettia plenty of light to keep it going strong. Poinsettias do best in bright indirect light such as an east-facing window.
