    How to re-bloom your Poinsettia

    Poinsettia Care and Re-bloom

    If your poinsettia is wrapped you will want to make holes in the bottom of the wrap to allow proper drainage. Or, after watering, wait 30 minutes and pour the excess water out carefully.
    Water your poinsettia thoroughly then allow drying a bit before watering again. Poinsettias love light and dislike breezy locations. Water every 5-7 days. I like to feel the weight of the pot to determine if it needs water.


    NOVEMBER – DECEMBER

    Enjoy your new poinsettia for the holidays.

    JANUARY- MARCH

    Be careful not to over-water and give it plenty of light.

    APRIL

    Prune back your poinsettia and fertilize.

    MAY – SEPTEMBER

    Allow your poinsettia to get plenty of bright light. You may put your poinsettia outside in a protected area, to begin with, and then gradually move it to full sun if you wish so that it gets plenty of light. Continue to water regularly and fertilize. You may want to pinch the top out of the poinsettia to encourage more branching before September.

    SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER

    You will want to begin to shorten the light exposure for your plants. Bring them inside, place a cardboard box over them or put them into a closet at night and increase their dark time to 12 hours per night. Be sure the plants get plenty of light in the day. When the bracts begin to color, you do not need to keep it dark at night. Do not fertilize after the bracts show good color.
