FAQ about Poinsettia – White

How long does a poinsettia stay colourful?
With the right care, a poinsettia keeps its colourful bracts for several months through winter. The tiny yellow flowers in the centre fade first, while the bracts can last much longer.
What temperature does a poinsettia prefer?
The poinsettia does best at 18-22°C. Avoid cold draughts, cold window panes and big swings in temperature, which make the leaves drop. Protect it from the cold on the way home from the shop, as even a few minutes in frost can damage it.
How often should a poinsettia be watered?
Water when the surface of the compost feels dry, usually once or twice a week, using room-temperature water. Tip away any water left in the saucer after 15 minutes, as the roots rot easily.
Where should I place a poinsettia in the home?
Place it in a bright spot out of strong direct sun, such as near a window. Avoid places next to radiators, fireplaces or doors that are often opened.
Can a poinsettia flower again next year?
Yes, but it takes some effort. Cut the plant back in spring and grow it on in a bright place. From autumn it needs about eight weeks of 14 hours of complete darkness every night for the bracts to colour up again.
