Poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima), well known as a decorative potted plant for the Christmas season, will perform as a Florida landscape plant where prolonged freezes are not the norm or where a warm microclimate exists around a home. Poinsettias are tropical plants and prefer a temperature range of 65°F (night) and 75°F–80°F (day). Inside your home, keep them in a brightly lit area away from drying or chilly drafts. They will tolerate full sun on a porch or patio but must be protected from frost or freezing temperatures. Water your poinsettia only when the surface of the soil is dry to the touch. Remove any excess water from the saucer or decorative pot sleeve because poinsettias do not tolerate soggy soil.

We have gold, red, or kraft paper pot covers available as well as florist's cards if it is a gift!
