  •   Poinsettia 'Red', also called Christmas Plant, is a festive indoor plant known for its vibrant red bracts. It belongs to the Euphorbia family and originates from Mexico, where it thrives in warm, humid conditions.

      'Red' features bold, deep red bracts that surround small yellow flowers. The plant’s dark green leaves provide a striking contrast, and it grows in an upright form, often reaching 1-2 feet in height indoors.

      The bracts of 'Red' turn red in response to shorter daylight hours, typically from late fall through winter. While the blooms themselves are small, the colorful bracts remain for weeks, adding a festive touch.

      'Red' thrives indoors with consistent warmth and humidity. It can be moved outside for summer but needs protection from rain and direct afternoon sun. The sap may irritate skin, so handle with care.

  •   Poinsettia 'Red' grows well in bright indirect light but can scorch in direct south-facing windows. Rotate regularly for even growth.

      Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry, usually every 7-10 days. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

      'Red' does best in a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or sand.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F during the day and a slight drop at night to encourage blooming.

      'Red' is a moderately fast grower during the active season and benefits from monthly fertilizer during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11. In warmer regions like Florida and California, it can grow outdoors year-round with frost protection.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
