What You Receive

• Quantity: 1 live poinsettia plant.

No specific cultivar or bract color is specified for this listing. Plant height, fullness, and stage of color development vary. The colorful parts commonly called petals are modified leaves known as bracts; the true flowers are small structures at their center.

Arrival Care

Unpack promptly indoors and remove any transport sleeve carefully. Check the growing medium and water if it feels dry near the surface. Allow excess water to drain. Protect the plant from cold exposure while moving it into your home.

Light and Temperature

Choose bright, indirect light away from cold window glass, drafty doors, heating vents, and fireplaces. Maintain a comfortable, steady indoor temperature. Poinsettias are frost-tender; do not leave them outdoors in freezing conditions or in an unheated vehicle.

Watering

Check the pot regularly and water when the surface of the growing medium begins to feel dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain completely. Empty saucers and decorative covers so roots do not stand in water. If a foil wrap blocks drainage, remove it for watering. Avoid both prolonged dryness and constantly saturated soil.

Care Beyond the Display Season

Continue providing suitable light and careful watering after the seasonal display fades. Feed during active growth according to the label of a houseplant fertilizer. Producing colored bracts again requires a consistent seasonal light-and-dark routine; repeat color is not automatic or guaranteed.

Handling and Pet Safety

For ornamental use only; do not eat. The milky sap can irritate skin and eyes, and chewing plant parts may cause mouth irritation or stomach upset. Keep away from children and pets that may chew plants. Wear gloves when pruning if sensitive to sap, and wash hands after handling.
