Whats the Poinsettia?

Now that the holidays are long past I'm finally going to post about everybody's favorite holiday plant... Poinsettias!  These make a great gift and are easy to take care of; but, if you get one don't throw it away this time!  They aren't an annual, they won't die once the new year hits, they will live for as long as you take care of them.

This Poinsettia survived its second holiday season.

As with any plant making sure it has the proper light and water is vital, but if they don't get enough light you will see a neat Dr. Seuss effect which is always fun. This one has been around for 4 or 5 years now and is still healthy, well, it's still alive.

Under proper growing conditions poinsettias will flower and look pretty once the days get short again, which is why they are such a popular Christmas plant!

Happy planting
