Poinsettias are a beautiful flower to bring into the home at this time of year. Thanks to their striking red leaves, they are easily one of the best Christmas houseplants you can grow. But these plants are also delicate, and knowing how often to water a poinsettia is key to helping it thrive throughout the festive period and beyond.
Poinsettia care tips aren't in short supply, but getting the watering right is perhaps the most important thing you can do. Experts say that at this time of year, your poinsettia only needs to be watered once a week, as these plants don't like sitting in soggy soil.
