How to pick and care for a poinsettia this season
Extension horticulturist Ricardo G. Gomez notes to choose a healthy poinsettia with large red bracts at least one and a half times the pot base and an asymmetrical growth. Select deep color, multi stem plants with three stems, avoid drafts, keep about 70 degrees day and 60 at night, provide bright light, and water thoroughly with good drainage to prevent over watering.
