Caring For Your Poinsettia Plant
Poinsettias like bright light but not direct sunlight; preferably near a window
Ideal temperatures are between 60 and 70 F.
Poinsettias will be happy if they are NOT always wet.
6" pots should be watered weekly while bigger pots can go as long as ten days
Notice the pot's weight when it is dry versus wet, this can be a great indicator if you forget how many days its been.
To water your plant, take it out of the foil and water it near/in the sink so that you can catch the runoff water. Once it is done draining, return to foil wrapping.
Poinsettias don't need fertilizer until they put on new growth in the Spring.
