Twice a day, spray water into the air near the bush or place a humidifier near the pot.
What does the poinsettia flower like
Poinsettia does not like dry and hot air.
The optimal temperature for growing it during the flowering period is 18–22 °C.
Therefore, find the coolest place in the house for the plant.
Do not place the pot next to radiators and heaters.
How to plant poinsettia in a pot
The star has a small root, so it can be transplanted into a pot that is 3-4 cm in height and 1-2 cm in diameter larger than the old one.
When replanting, save the root ball of soil, and to remove the plant from the old pot without injury, spill the soil with warm water 15 minutes before replanting.
Don't forget to water the soil mixture.
How to care for an indoor poinsettia flower
Poinsettia requires moderate watering with soft, warm water.
Water it as the top layer of soil dries.
Nevertheless, drying out the earthen coma is unacceptable: the flower will certainly react and shed its leaves.
Watering should be plentiful, excess liquid should drain from the drainage holes.
Is it possible to prune poinsettias
Poinsettias are pruned in the spring.
Usually by this time the plant stops blooming and begins to shed its leaves.
The procedure is also carried out if the poinsettia does not plan to rest.
The plant is not watered before pruning.
