Poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) are a type of flowering plant that is native to Mexico. They are popular holiday plants in many parts of the world, and are known for their bright red, pink, white, or multicolored bracts (modified leaves) and small, yellow flowers. Poinsettias are tropical plants that prefer warm, humid conditions and bright, indirect light.

It grows in well-draining soil and watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. However, it is important to avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. Poinsettias are sensitive to temperature changes and drafts, so it is best to keep them away from doors and windows. They can also be sensitive to fluctuations in light, so it is important to provide them with consistent lighting conditions. Poinsettias can be toxic to pets if ingested, so it is important to keep them out of reach if you have curious pets at home.

Poinsettias can be grown indoors or outdoors in warmer climates, and they make a beautiful addition to any holiday decor. Overall, poinsettias are relatively easy to care for with proper attention to their light and watering needs.

The most widely available poinsettia plant is red but, It probably comes as no surprise that red poinsettias are the best-selling of all, followed by white and cream-coloured varieties.
