How to take care:

Placement: In a bright place with good ventilation, away from direct sunlight

Soil: Keep the soil consistently moist.

Watering: When the surface of the soil starts to dry up, it can be checked every 2 days or so.

Temperature & Humidity: Keep temperatures between 16-32°C

Nutrients: Liquid fertiliser will be good, apply once a week.

Common issue:

Scenario 1: Plant start to lose leaves:

Too warm or too dry in the room or plant is thirsty.

Scenario 2: Leaves wilting

Too dry, check the soil if it is dry to the touch, if yes, water right away

Witting or dropping leaves can also be a sign of over watering, meaning the need to adjust watering.

Scenario 3: Leave turning green

To maintain its blooming colour, keep them in complete darkness from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily. As sunlight will trigger the photosynthesis process which turns from its blooming colour to green.

Scenario 3: Bugs attacks – Whiteflies

Whiteflies are common bugs that may attack poinsettia. Use Mr. Ganick Super Margosa.

For prevention, apply once a week. For pest control, apply once every 2 to 3 days until pests are repelled.

Shake well before spraying on pests or whole plants. If you have other plants in house, remember to cover them too.
