Decorating With Poinsettias

6" Poinsettia at Loma Vista FarmSecond to the Christmas tree, no other plant says Christmas more than the poinsettia. Green stems, bright red leaves, and maybe red or gold foil-wrapped flower pots add the holiday spirit to any room.

Here are a few ideas to spread the holiday spirit around your home or office:

        • Frame the Fireplace – place poinsettias on either side of the fireplace
  • Kitchen – Place smaller poinsettias (1-inch to 3-inch pots) in the window sill and around the cabinets.
  • Christmas Tree – They don’t have to compete. Place a poinsettia near the Christmas tree.
  • The Office – Get your office in the holiday spirit with a few well-placed plants in offices, meeting rooms, break rooms, waiting areas, and even the restroom.

If you’re one who loves fresh poinsettias for the festive vibe they bring, be generous with your placements. These hearty plants should last well into the new year.
