Poinsettias bloom tactics for a festive year ahead
Poinsettias can stay pleasing into the new year and even bloom out of season. The plant uses short days to trigger flower buds, with leaves or bracts resembling petals and tiny male flowers inside cup shaped structures. Maintain a cool rest period, then resume growth with long sunny days and a 14 hour nightly dark cycle to induce next season’s blooms.
