Moon Valley Nursery's Holiday Poinsettias

Keep your Poinsettias Vibrant this Holiday

Poinsettias remain one of the most popular Christmas holiday flowers. The sea of red reminds us that the holiday season is upon us. Moon Valley Nursery has a huge selection of these holiday must- haves.

Here are some tips that will help keep your Poinsettia vibrant and healthy:
When You First Bring Your Poinsettia Home From Moon Valley Nursery Remember:

Light

Water

Temperature

Light - Place it near a sunny window. South, east or west facing windows are preferable to a north facing window. Poinsettias are tropical plants and will benefit from as much direct sunlight as you can provide.

Water - Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch. Simply feel the surface of the poinsettia with your hand. Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in water. It is best to water in a sink where the water can drain, or outside.

Ideal temperature - To keep the poinsettia in bloom for as long as possible maintain a temperature of 65 - 75 degrees F˚ during the day. The drop in temperature to 60˚F at nightfall does not harm the plant. However, cold drafts or allowing the leaves to touch a cold window can injure the leaves and cause premature leaf drop.

Enjoy the rich colors of these holiday must-haves as a center piece at your dinner table or throughout your patios and porches. Come in today and take home your beautiful Poinsettias from Moon Valley Nursery.
