Poinsettia Pink (Euphorbia pulcherrima) - Flowering Bracts

About Poinsettia Pink (Euphorbia pulcherrima)

Poinsettia is one of the most popular flowering houseplants, prized for its colourful bracts (modified leaves) that surround the small true flowers at the centre. This pink variety brings a soft, festive splash of colour that lasts for weeks with the right care.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Bright light near a south, east, or west-facing window; poinsettias are tropical plants and appreciate as much direct sunlight as you can give them.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to higher humidity, especially during dry winter months.

Placement

Place in a bright room where the sun won't shine directly on the plant, away from cold or hot draughts, and high enough to be out of reach of pets and unmonitored children.

Care

• Watering: Water whenever the soil surface feels dry, until it drains from the bottom - don't let it sit in standing water, and don't let it wilt.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding isn't essential while bracts are on display; resume feeding lightly if attempting to carry the plant into a new season.
• Repotting: Not usually needed during the display season; repot in spring only if keeping the plant long-term.
• Pruning: Not required during bloom; pinch back after flowering if reblooming next season.

Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Sap can mildly irritate skin, mouth, and stomach if chewed - considered only mildly toxic (less dangerous than commonly believed) but best kept away from pets that chew plants.
