The bright, festive bracts of a poinsettia are one of the clearest signs that the holiday season is here, and by mid-December, it’s no surprise that many homes boast two or three of these vibrant plants. With varieties now available in a stunning range of colors – from classic red to soft pinks and creamy whites – poinsettias offer an effortless way to bring Christmas cheer to any room.
Even when carefully selected for crisp green foliage and vividly colored stems, poinsettias can begin to droop after a few weeks indoors, particularly when exposed to fluctuating temperatures or central heating. One of the most common questions plant enthusiasts ask at this time of year is: how often should you water a poinsettia?
