Poinsettia, Christmas Mouse Red 4"

This festive Christmas Mouse Poinsettia is a perfect addition to your holiday decorations! Bright red blooms of mouse ear-shaped bracts surrounded by deep green foliage make this plant an eye-catching centerpiece (or perfect compliment) for so many seasonal design themes. It also makes a fine gift for plant lovers and holiday hosts and hostesses.

• Light: Place your Poinsettia near a sunny window where it will receive 6 hours bright light, but not be in direct sunlight all day (east-facing windows are best since that location provides morning sun and some afternoon shade).

• Watering: Water only when the top ½” of potting mix is dry to the touch and then to water thoroughly, until water drains from the bottom of the pot. If it’s moist, wait.

• Temperature: Poinsettias prefer an indoor temperature from 65-75°F during the day, and above 60°F at night. Try to avoid drastic changes in temperature, such as warm drafts from a heater and be sure to keep the leaves away from touching cold windows, or the leaves may drop or prematurely wilt.

Plants are constantly growing, ever-changing, and therefore unique. The plant you receive may vary from the photo, but rest assured, holds the same glorious potential!
