Characteristics of the poinsettia
The poinsettia is a plant that brings joy and is offered as a symbol of affection to wish a happy new year full of positivity. This is how the poinsettia is perceived with its beautiful bright red leaves.

Poinsettia at home
The first thing a nurseryman asks is to pay attention to the roots, that they are always healthy and strong. Then the leaves should be bright green, never dull or bland. Without forgetting the buds, which must be fresh and shiny. Added to all this is a very important step, namely watering and when it should be done. There are indeed times when it is better not to water this plant, so that it does not rot in a short time.
Poinsettia, never water at this time
As we have said, nurserymen require that the plant in question follow certain basic rules so that it flourishes throughout the year. Its branches are always very strong, which is why they should never tend to break.
The ideal is to expose it 12 hours a day to indirect sunlight, so that the leaves acquire their usual bright red color. The soil should never be dry, but moist. Experts recommend placing a container filled with water under the pot to give it vitality and best nourish the plant.
Watering the poinsettia
The real secret of a colorful, healthy and beautiful plant is certainly the watering rhythm. Experts advise never to water at lunchtime or in the afternoon, as the water will immediately evaporate and the plant will dry out.
It is best to water early in the morning or in the evening after 7 p.m. in order to properly nourish and hydrate the poinsettia.
