April 8, 2020

We have Christmas around the corner and in no home can you miss a Poinsettia or Poinsettia, and if you pamper it with the care it needs, when the Christmas holidays are over you can even plant it in the garden and if the weather allows it you can turn it into a beautiful tree.

Tips to take care of it and maintain it:

Place it in a place in the house with lots of light, but never with direct exposure to the sun's rays
The ideal temperature is up to 21º C
Eye does not tolerate drafts !, therefore if you notice that it is with the fallen leaves, it will probably be due to it, we advise you to move it to a more sheltered corner
Tips on watering: Leave it for about fifteen minutes on a plate with water if it may be warm, remove it and repeat this operation twice a week, you must ensure that between watering and watering the substrate partially dries, in this way we avoid fungi and that the plant does not rot.
During the growing and flowering season we recommend making a fertilizer every 15 days with a specific liquid fertilizer for flowering.
To get them to flower the following year, it will need more hours of darkness without counting the night, with 5 or 6 hours will be enough to achieve a correct flowering and reach its characteristic color.
