Let the Holiday spirit grow throughout the year with Christmas Poinsettias from Costa Farms. Poinsettias have been the staple plant for Christmas since the early 1800s. Great as a gift or for your own home, Poinsettias feature lance like leaves that work to purify the air all year long. A seasonal centerpiece that's ideal for smaller spaces, the Poinsettia is great for decorating. Poinsettia thrives on sunlight and will do well in a sunny window. Water when the top couple inches of the soil are dry. If the container does not have holes, use approximately one cup of water, adjust as needed for your environment. Do not let the Poinsettia sit in water or overly soggy soil. The height at shipping is approximately 11 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant. The Poinsettia ships in a festive, 2-quart decorative planter. The Poinsettia is a slow to moderate grower depending on its environment and is hardy in USDA Zone 10. Give it a boost during the warm months of Spring and Summer with a general-purpose fertilizer that is formulated for house plants. When the plant out grows the current container, it is time to repot. Plants are living things; each one is slightly different, so the plant you receive may vary from the photo. Costa Farms plants are not intended for human or animal consumption.
