Planting and Sowing Instructions:

-
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Once seedlings appear, reduce watering slightly, but continue to ensure they receive consistent moisture.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle and outdoor temperatures are consistently warm, transplant them into your garden or larger pots. For indoor gardening, keep them near a sunny window.
-
Light Requirements: Poinsettias thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sun may scorch the leaves, so ensure they are placed in an area with filtered light.
-
Fertilization: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
-
Pruning: For bushier growth, pinch back the top stems once the plant is established.
Care Tips:
-
Keep the plant in a location with plenty of indirect sunlight, but avoid intense midday sun.
-
Poinsettias prefer a consistent, moderate level of moisture. Avoid letting them sit in standing water.
-
For the best color and growth, make sure your poinsettias are in a spot that stays warm but not too hot, particularly in the winter months.
