The Festive Popularity of Poinsettias

Native to Mexico, Poinsettia plants have become an integral part of Christmas celebrations in the UK, with over 2 million sold every year!
Their vibrant radiant red and green hues of the flowers add a touch of festivity to any space. Their transformation into a beloved Christmas symbol was first attributed to a touching tale of a poor girl who offered the plants as a gift at a nativity service. The plants were later popularised by American botanist Joel Roberts Poinsett during his tenure as the US ambassador to Mexico and the Poinsettia has a complicated history.

Care Tips For Your Christmas Plants

Light & Placement

Place your festive plants in bright, indirect light. Avoid cold draughts near doors or heaters that can cause leaf drop or early fading.

Watering & Temperature

Keep soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage and avoid placing plants on moulded windowsills or next to hot radiators. Aim for a stable indoor temperature of ~16-20 °C.

Post Holiday Transition 

After Christmas, allow foliage from cyclamen and planters to tidy naturally; prune and refresh where needed. Poinsettias can be maintained for next season with correct lighting and care.
