The do's and don't of Poinsettia Care.
.Do place your plant in indirect sunlight for at least six hours per day.
.Do provide room temperature between 68-70 degree Fahrenheit.
.Do water your plant when the soil feels dry to the touch.
.Do use a large roomy shopping bag to protect your plant when transporting it.
.Do fertilize your plant AFTER THE BLOOMING SEASON with a balanced fertilizer.

.Don't place plants near a cold draft or excessive heat.
.Avoid placing plants near appliances , fireplaces or ventilating ducts.
.Don't expose plants to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Poinsettias are sensitive to cold, so avoid placing them outside during the winter months.
And most of all , enjoy your Poinsettias over the holiday season.
