Product description
Poinsettias are known to be a great addition to any indoor space around the Winter and festive period. Known as the Christmas Flower, their foliage is dark green with eye-catching flowering around that to make it pop in and around your home.
A brilliant gift for any beginner plant owner, the Poinsettia should be placed in bright, indirect light, away from any immediate draught via doors or fireplaces. Only water them when the soil is dry to touch and avoid over-watering.
Growing your Poinsettia from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness. It’s also easily propagated in soil or water via stem cuttings.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Keep your Poinsettia vibrant by maintaining it in a consistent environment with temperatures between 15–22°C and away from cold drafts or direct heat sources. To extend its life after the festive season, consider pruning it back in spring and moving it to a slightly larger pot to encourage new growth. With proper care, your Poinsettia can return for another year of seasonal colour.
How to Water
Water Poinsettias sparingly, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. When watering, add enough to moisten the soil evenly but let excess water drain away completely to avoid root rot. Never let the plant sit in standing water. During the active growing season, check the soil more frequently to ensure it doesn’t dry out completely, as Poinsettias prefer consistent moisture without overwatering.
How to Plant
To plant a Poinsettia, select a pot with adequate drainage and fill it with a light, well-draining soil, such as a mix designed for houseplants. Remove the plant from its nursery pot and gently loosen the roots before placing it in its new container. Ensure the root ball sits just below the rim of the pot, then backfill with soil, firming gently to secure the plant. Position the Poinsettia in a warm, draft-free area with bright, indirect light to thrive during the festive season.
