I figure it is the season let's talk about growing a seasonal plant that would be

the Poinsettia so this is a plant I actually saw production of Poinsettia at a massive scale up in

Northern California last year. Really interesting to see how they have to perfectly

plan the production and growth of these plants so that they actually get them to all of us for the

holiday season. So let's just say that you've grabbed your first Poincetia

right and you're ready to grow it. Congrats, I just did the same thing and we need to figure out how to care for it.

The first thing you want to do is unwrap it.

Usually they will be wrapped and the reason why is because low temperatures can damage the

plant they don't really want that. Unrep it you want to place it in indirect light

around six hours of indirect light a day is ideal. Don't bump it right up next to a window.

The reason for that is because again a cold window, there's going to be a colder zone right next to that window and those cold temperatures are going to do a number on it.

Next up, you want to keep it away from any warm or cold draft, don't put it next to a fan, don't put it next to some sort of radiator or HVAC system, whatever.

Don't do that.

Okay, next up, temperature.

You want to give it about 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so just indoor room temperature sometime in the winter

sounds about right for it. Nighttime temperatures you don't want them to go

too far below about 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit and two high of temperatures will shorten the life of the

plan. Next make sure in only water when the soil is dry. Now it's really all

about getting this through the holiday season so you can enjoy it and

also if you want to you can get it at least about two months or so in your home in that

container so with good care you can get it two months or so in your home in that container.

So with good care, you can get it to about that point.
