Post Holiday Poinsettia Care Place poinsettias near a sunny window where it will have the most available sunlight. A window that faces south, east or west is better than one facing north. Poinsettias prefer temperatures between 60- 70°F. However, don't let the plant touch the cold window pane. Also, it is best to keep the poinsettia away from cold drafts or heat outlets. If the pot was wrapped with decorative foil, punch a hole in the foil at the bottom of the pot for water drainage and place a saucer underneath the pot. It is important to water your poinsettias on a regular basis. Examine the soil daily, and when the surface is dry to the touch, water the soil until it runs freely out the drainage hole in the container. The amount of water recommended in the table for use in various sized containers ensures that enough water will be applied so that some will run out the drainage hole. If a saucer is used, discard the water that collects in it. Do not leave the plant standing in water. Overly wet soil lacks sufficient air, which results in root injury. A wilted plant may drop its leaves prematurely, so check the soil frequently. Plants exposed to high light and low humidity require December 26, 2014 - January 8, 2015 Do You Need A Cleaning Lady?

Manage Your Money Work guaranteed. We sell clocks too. Call 614-862-0835 more frequent watering. If wilting does occur, immediately water with the recommended amount, and 5 minutes later water again. Temperatures are very important for the longevity of poinsettias as well. To keep the plant in bloom, maintain it at a temperature of 65F to 70F during the daylight hours and, if possible, move it to a cooler place at night. Because root rot disease is more prevalent at temperatures below 60F, do not put the poinsettia in a room colder than this. Avoid exposing the plant to hot or cold drafts, which may cause premature leaf drop. New Year’s Closing OSU Extension will be closed on Thursday, January 1 to observe the New Year’s Holiday.
