Poinsettias are iconic festive plants known for their vibrant, colourful bracts that create a bold display through the holiday season and beyond. Their rich red, pink, or white bracts sit above neat, deep green foliage, giving them a striking contrast and a warm, cheerful presence. Compact and naturally bushy, they make an excellent statement plant for indoor décor, patios, and sheltered outdoor spaces. Whether used as a seasonal feature, a bright addition to entertaining areas, or a decorative pot plant, poinsettias bring effortless colour and instant celebration to any setting.
Summer
Grows best in bright, indirect light, avoiding harsh direct sun that may scorch the leaves. Prefers well-drained soil and regular watering, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root issues. Keep sheltered from cold drafts and protect from frost, as poinsettias thrive in warm, stable conditions. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to support healthy foliage and vibrant bracts. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a compact, well-shaped plant.
