Real Old Fashioned Christmas Trees in the Nineties
A look back at 1890s Christmas trees showing a gilded star on top, streamers, flags, popcorn and cranberries, chains of foil, candles, peppermint canes and Santa dolls. Candies like sourballs and peppermint canes were common penny treats.
Proper Care For Poinsettias
Care involves keeping the plant at about 60 degrees Fahrenheit after maturity and watering properly. Water thoroughly until drainage, then let soil dry before rewatering to protect roots from overwatering. Avoid keeping it in excess moisture and misuse of the pot for props.
Poinsettia Care After Christmas Dormancy
After Christmas the plant enters a normal rest period and drops its leaves. Stand continually in water risks root rot within days. Home care is challenging as the poinsettia resumes growth with proper light and watering practices.
