Euphorbia pulchermia, the Poinsettia, is the iconic Christmas plant, prized for its vivid red, pink or cream bracts that surround tiny true flowers. A native Mexican shrub, it colours up in the short days of winter, making it a beloved festive gift. Outdoors in mild regions it grows into a tall shrub, while indoors it is enjoyed as a seasonal pot plant. It needs bright light, careful watering and warmth. With its dramatic winter display, the Poinsettia brings cheerful colour to Indian homes during the cooler, festive months.

Growing tips

In India treat it as a winter showpiece in bright shade; to recolour the bracts next year give it complete uninterrupted darkness for about 14 hours nightly for several weeks in autumn.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water a Poinsettia?

Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top feels dry and always discard excess water, as wet roots quickly cause leaf drop.

How much light does it need?

Bright, filtered light with gentle morning sun is ideal. Strong, steady light keeps the bracts vivid and the plant compact.

Is Poinsettia poisonous to pets?

It is only mildly toxic; the milky sap can irritate the mouth and skin and cause mild stomach upset, so keep it away from pets and children.

How do I make it turn red again?

Give it 14 hours of complete darkness each night for 6-8 weeks in autumn, with bright light by day, to trigger the coloured bracts.

When and how do I prune it?

After the bracts fade in spring, cut the plant back by about half to encourage bushy new growth for the next season.

How do I propagate Poinsettia?

Take softwood stem cuttings in late spring, let the cut sap dry, then root them in moist, well-draining mix in a warm, bright spot.

Why are the leaves dropping?

Leaf drop is usually from cold drafts, over- or under-watering, or sudden environmental change. Keep it warm, evenly moist and stable.

Can I grow it outdoors in India?

Yes, in frost-free regions it grows into a large shrub outdoors in bright shade; in colder areas keep it potted and protected.

Is the sap dangerous?

The white latex sap can irritate sensitive skin and eyes and upset the stomach if eaten, so wash hands after handling and pruning.

What fertilizer should I use?

Feed a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during active growth, but stop feeding once the bracts have coloured up.
