Poinsettia Blooming Period:
Originating from Mexico, poinsettias bloom in November or December, with their iconic red bracts. They need periods of darkness to bloom; indirect light during the day is essential.
🌟 Care During Blooming:
Light: 6-8 hours of indirect light, avoiding cold drafts. Watering: When the soil is dry, avoiding overwatering. Temperature: Maintain between 18 and 23°C; lower temperatures can cause leaf drop.
🌟 Steps to Make the Plant Bloom Again:
After the holidays, prune the stems to 10-15 cm and fertilize regularly. In summer, replant in a larger container with well-draining soil. Expose to sunlight in summer and pinch the stems in July and August to encourage branching. In autumn, move to a dark, warm place for 10-14 hours a day. In November, stop watering and expose to sunlight for blooming.
🌟 Crucial Care Before Blooming:
Provide darkness during the period leading up to flowering to stimulate reddening.
