Poinsettias are in bloom in winter. That is why they are very popular as a decoration for the Christmas home. The colored bracts, which are often mistaken for the actual flower, appear from November and provide color in the house until spring.

The poinsettia blooms around November

The heyday of the poinsettia

Strictly speaking, poinsettia is not a flower, but colored bracts. The flower itself is rather inconspicuous.

The flowering period, when the bracts take on their color, begins in November and continues into February.

If you grow a perennial poinsettia, it often flowers a little later because it is not easy to get the plant to flower again.

tips

Caring for a poinsettia is not easy. A bit of sensitivity and a lot of attention are required to ensure that the flowering period lasts for a long time and that the poinsettia does not lose its leaves prematurely.
