This well-known late-autumn to late-winter flowering houseplant has colorful, leaflike bracts up to 6in (15cm) long, usually bright crimson, though scarlet, white, pink, and cream forms are also available.
Height: 12–18in (30–45cm) |
Spread: 12–18in (30–45cm) |
Winter: 55–61°F (15–16°C); avoid high temperatures. Indirect light |
Summer: Not applicable |
Care: Keep compost evenly moist, but not waterlogged. No feeding is needed. Poinsettias can be kept from one year to another, but because garden centers use chemicals to produce compact and dwarf plants, they may be larger the following year. In practical terms, plants are best discarded. |

Propagation: Buy a new plant the following year. |
