Your Luminous Poinsettia: Tips & Tricks

The poinsettia, also known as the Christmas Star, is more than just a plant – it's the radiant symbol of the Advent and Christmas season. With its bright red (or white, pink, cream-colored) bracts, it immediately brings a festive atmosphere into any room.

• Certified Quality: We show you exactly what you get. The leaves of your star are strong green and vital. With us, you buy certified quality for long-lasting enjoyment.

Properly Caring for Your Poinsettia – How It Stays an Eye-Catcher:

The poinsettia is beautiful, but also a bit of a drama queen when it comes to care. With these simple tips, however, it will enchant you for weeks:

• The Right Location: Your poinsettia loves it bright and warm, but not too hot. Ideal temperatures are between $15$ and $22$ degrees Celsius. Place it at a bright window, but avoid direct drafts (especially from tilted windows!) and the blazing midday sun. It also dislikes cold stone window sills – it's best to place a coaster or a piece of cork under the pot.

• Watering with Care: The most common care mistake is waterlogging! Water your star moderately. It is best to wait until the top layer of soil feels slightly dry. A quick soak (or 'bath') is ideal: Take the pot out of the cachepot, briefly dip the root ball into water, let it drain well, and only then put it back. You must absolutely pour away excess water in the cachepot – waterlogging quickly leads to root rot and leaf loss.

• Fertilizing (Optional): Fresh plants are usually pre-fertilized. If you want to overwinter your star and bring it into the next year, you can add some liquid flowering plant fertilizer to the watering water every two weeks, starting about two weeks after purchase.

Gifting Poinsettias – A Gesture from the Heart:

A poinsettia is the perfect gift to give warmth and joy during the cold season. It symbolizes good wishes and a festive mood.

• The Surprise Effect: Add a personal greeting card to your order – this way, the recipient immediately knows who the loving attention is from.

• Packaged & Delivered with Love: At FloraPrima, we ensure that your present arrives safely and well-packaged at the recipient on the desired date so it can shine immediately.

Poinsettia (Christmas Star) Q&A Section

Is the poinsettia poisonous?
Yes, the poinsettia belongs to the spurge family, and its white sap is slightly toxic. It is an irritant to pets and small children. Therefore, place it out of their reach.

Why is my poinsettia suddenly losing its leaves?
The most common reason is cold (drafts, cold transport) or incorrect watering (either too dry or – mostly – too wet due to waterlogging). Check the location for drafts and make sure no water remains in the cachepot.

How long does a poinsettia bloom?
With the right care and a bright, warm location without drafts, your poinsettia can keep its bracts (the red-colored leaves) for weeks to months, often until spring.

What is the best way to water my poinsettia?
Water moderately when the topsoil is dry. Absolutely avoid waterlogging by removing excess water from the cachepot after about $20$ minutes. A quick soak every few days is ideal.

Can I keep my poinsettia over the summer and make it bloom again?
Yes! You can prune it back after flowering, keep it bright indoors or outdoors in the summer, and start the "short-day treatment" from late September/early October. To do this, the plant must receive absolute darkness for at least $14$ hours daily for about $8$ weeks to regrow the colored bracts.
