Poinsettia Care Tips For A Bright Christmas Display
Weekly garden notes advise keeping poinsettias in cool 60 degree conditions, away from sunlit windows. Maintain humidity, moist soil, and avoid drafts. To induce bloom, provide complete darkness from 4 p.m. to 7–8 a.m. each night, a process that may not finish before Christmas but improves chances of flowering.
