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.
