Garden Spot Poinsettia Care and History Guide
The poinsettia, a tropical American shrub with red bracts, is a popular Christmas plant with pink and white varieties. Credit for its introduction to the U S is linked to a Charleston officer named Poinsett. For best use remove most green leaves a week before cutting and seal the cut end. After blooming cut back to six to eight inches, fertilize in June and August, then again in October without cutting back. Maintain well drained soil and regular watering. Propagate from hardwood cuttings after the season and from softwood cuttings when the plant is pruned in June and August.
