Some would argue that no Christmas tablescape is complete until poinsettias take center stage. These red, white and pink houseplants have become synonymous with the festive season and are incorporated into the holiday decorations of many homes every year. But, did you know it's possible to also plant them out in your yard and grow poinsettias outdoors?

The slightest of inconsistencies in their growing environment can send them on a downhill spiral of wilting and you might notice your poinsettia dropping leaves. However, if you're pretty confident in caring for these festive houseplants, then you might want to consider taking on the challenge of growing them outdoors.
