Best Locations For Growing White Poinsettia

Growing in spaces with a minimum of six hours of bright, indirect light, humidity levels between 50% to 75%, and temperatures ranging from 65° to 75°, this tropical shrub is best placed away from heat sources, such as fireplaces, owing to its preference for moderate to high humidity.

White Poinsettia Care

During fall, manipulating the exposure to light and darkness alternately facilitates the reproduction of crimson bracts. Trimming dead leaves encourages growth and prevents diseases. While pruning is not frequently necessary, occasional pinching during the growing season stimulates a larger plant.

Pink Poinsettia prefers loamy, acidic, and well-draining soil. An initial 8-inch or 9-inch pot filled with a mix amended with peat moss and perlite is ideal. During repotting in early spring, trim it back to four inches and transfer it to a pot two to four inches larger, checking and changing the soil to prevent root rot.

Watering White Poinsettia

Guard against root rot by avoiding overwatering. Check moisture levels by inserting a finger one to two inches into the soil; if dry, water, and if not, wait a day or two before rechecking.

Feeding White Poinsettia

Reserve feeding for the blooming season, providing monthly diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. This routine ensures the sustained vitality of your flamboyant friend.
