Can you hear the festive chimes ringing? It might be a hint that you're in the mood for a vibrant crimson tropical shrub indigenous to Mexico. Enter the Pink Poinsettia, a charming house plant commonly employed to adorn Christmas spaces. However, beyond its decorative purpose, this evergreen gem doesn't deserve to be discarded post-holiday merriment; with attentive care, it can become a perennial source of vibrant joy year after year.
Best Locations For Growing White Poinsettia
Flourishing 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.
This unique tropical shrub, celebrated for its legendary crimson bracts often mistaken for flowers, reacts directly to light intensity. The more abundant the bright light it receives, the more vibrant the color of its bracts.

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.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
