Poinsettia is a symbol of Christmas, and potted plants are often bought simply to add a touch of red to the decor during the festive season.

You can choose to have your plant delivered in a designer bower pot or gift wrapped.

Poinsettia plant care is relatively easy. Although it is a succulent, poinsettia does like a reasonable amount of moisture. It will need watering at least once a week over summer (more often in pots, or when it's very hot and dry). Make sure to thoroughly soak it each time. Reduce frequency as the weather cools, but don't let it dry out completely.
