Christmas Joy Marble is a mid season poinsettia with dark green leaves and soft pink and cream marble patterned bracts.Use it to bring a festive touch to any room. It also makes a fine gift for plant lovers and holiday hosts and hostesses.
Poinsettia Care Tips: Jennifer Brennan, Chalets Horticultural Specialist, says, the key to success with Poinsettias is bright light and consistent temperatures.
- Light:Place your Poinsettia near a sunny window where it will receive 6 hours bright light, but not be in direct sunlight all day (east-facing windows are best since that location provides morning sun and some afternoon shade).
- Watering: Water only when the topof potting mix is dry to the touch and then to water thoroughly, until water drains from the bottom of the pot. If its moist, wait. Avoid getting water on the brachts (the colored leaves we refer to as flowers, which really arent).
- Temperature: Poinsettias prefer an indoor temperature from 65-75F during the day, and above 60F at night. Try to avoid drastic changes in temperature, such as warm drafts from a heater and be sure to keep the leaves away from touching cold windows, or the leaves may drop or prematurely wilt.
Plants are constantly growing, ever-changing, and therefore unique. The plant you receive may vary from the photo, but rest assured, holds the same glorious potential!
