Poinsettia

The main symbol of Christmas among indoor plants.In Europe and England, poinsettia (or Euphorbia is the most beautiful) is also called the "Christmas star" for its beautiful bracts (no, these are not flowers at all, as many think). Red, pink or white, they last for 2-6 months. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the small central inflorescences: the plant will bloom longer if they are not opened. At home, put the poinsettia on a well-lit window, protect it from drafts and heat from the batteries - spray often. After flowering, the plant is thrown away, but if you are not looking for easy ways, you can leave it until next new year. In order for the poinsettia to bloom again, you will have to keep it in complete darkness in the fall.
