Discover all the possibilities that the Poinsettia offers you. This plant, so Christmassy, can become a beautiful centerpiece or an original Christmas tree.
Poinsettia, Poinsettia, Christmas Eve… It is known by many names and it is a symbol of the Christmas holidays. We doubt that there is a house in these dates that does not have at least one pot with a Paschal Flower. And if it is not in its natural format, it will surely appear in patterns and motifs or ornaments that decorate the house.
This plant that belongs to the euphorbia family is native to Mexico; in fact, it did not leave this country until about 200 years ago, when the first American ambassador stationed in the Aztec territory, Joel Poinsset, decided to send some of the most beautiful species to Philadelphia, so that they could carry out a complete study there. From the ambassador they adopted their name and began their expansion throughout the world.
The Poinsettia, also known as Flor de Pascua or Flor de Nochebuena, owes these adjectives to the coincidence of the height of its flowering with the time in which the Christmas holidays are celebrated.
This winter plant usually has green leaves and red flowers, but there is an increasing range of colors and shapes that offer multiple possibilities to decorate the house. You can choose the color and shape depending on where you are going to place it. There are white, pink, yellow or salmon colored Poinsettias.
In some countries this plant is known as the Christmas Star, and the fact that the arrival of the poinsettia in any home means that the holidays are almost here. To make it last longer, make sure that it gets a lot of light, that the room is at a moderate temperature, avoid sudden changes in temperature and, above all, make sure that it does not suffer from drafts. They will live longer than you imagine. After the holidays incorporate them into your garden, they hold up well outside (in areas where there are no frosts).

Tips for Buying Poinsettias
Check quality: Dense foliage and yellow-green shoots are signs of freshness. The flowers are not the colorful star-shaped ones, but the small buds located in the center. If they are wilted, select another plant. Do not choose those that have been in outdoor areas. Poinsettias do not like cold or draughts.
