The poinsettia originates in Mexico, where it’s a long-lived shrub that can grow to 10 feet tall! It has long been known as the Christmas flower there, and legend has it that a poor child prayed for a gift to present to the Christ Child, and watched in wonder as a poinsettia sprang up at the foot of the altar. In America, too, they’ve become a traditional holiday symbol, and are the best selling potted plant in the country.

Although poinsettias are perennial in their native habitat, it’s difficult to get them to prosper as a permanent houseplant, so it’s best to enjoy them for the holiday season, and then dispose of them. You can keep them looking beautiful longer, though, if you place them where they can get at least 6 hours of indirect sunlight each day, and make sure they aren’t exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees. Generally, they prefer temperatures of 68 to 70 degrees. They also need regular watering, though you should let the soil get dry to the touch before each watering. Avoid soggy roots, and never let the plant sit in standing water.

If you have a green thumb, you may wish to try getting your poinsettia to rebloom. Here’s a good how-to guide on this subject:
