Poinsettia Care

Poinsettias are looking great this year.  There are a couple of things to remember about taking care of these beautiful plants.  Poinsettias need bright light and the ideal temperatures are in the 60's.  The cooler temperature prolongs the color but understand that under 50 Degrees they will not last.  When the surface of the soil is dry to the touch water thoroughly but do not leave it sitting in the water.

If you are looking for long term maintenance use a complete fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium every two weeks.
