How to Care for Your Poinsettia

1. Keep your Christmas poinsettia in a sunny location protected from drafts and sudden changes in temperature.
2. Don't over water. Allow soil to dry somewhat, then water thoroughly.
3. Once the blooms (bracts) have faded, reduce the amount of water during rest period and cut stems back a third. Place the plant in a sunny window where it will receive plenty of light. In the summer, this location may become too hot. If so, move plant further from window, especially during the heat of the day. Plants may be placed outdoors after the last frost but must be brought inside before the danger of the first frost. Cold temperatures may cause leaf damage.
4. Increase watering and fertilizer every two weeks at beginning of fall.
5. For reflowering in the winter, move the plant indoors after October 1. Provide the plant with 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily. Night temperatures should stay between 60 and 70 F.
6. By Thanksgiving, you should have a beautiful poinsettia.
