Tips on Finding the Best Poinsettias

Poinsettias are the number one selling plant in the US.  I don’t need to explain why because it’s pretty obvious – just look at one.  Here are some tips on finding the best holiday Poinsettia you can and making them last well past New Years.

  • Poinsettias typically have brittle branches that are easily broken off.  Look for a plant with upright branches.  These tend to be the strongest.
  • If the lower leaves are partially dead or interior leaves are dropping than the plant is drying out.  Avoid these if possible.
  • A lot of us like to put our plants in our own pots.  Well, rather than yanking your Poinsettia out of the container, cut the container off.  This way you aren’t damaging any of the branches or leaves while moving the plant.
  • Drowning your Poinsettia is an easy thing to do.  Be sure your pot allows the water to drain otherwise you could be looking at “root rot” or just plain drowning the plant.
  • As with any plant, keep your Poinsettia near a window if possible.  The added light will keep it alive longer.
  • Don’t fertilize your plant until after Christmas.  Using it now will speed up the plants development, thus, speeding up it’s decline.  Waiting until after Christmas will improve the life of your plant.

Come on in to any of our Boesen locations and pick up your Poinsettia.  Hope this helps.
