What To Do With Poinsettias After Christmas Houseplant Care Tips | how to prune, grow and bloom

Poinsettias are the ultimate Christmas plants. Sadly, most of these lush greenies with bright red bracts end up in trash bins after the festive season is over. In this video, I talk about what to do with poinsettias after Christmas if you want to keep them alive and well year round and get them blooming next winter. Frankly speaking, the instructions I’ve seen online are quite confusing, so I made a clear-cut yearly schedule for you that shows how poinsettia plant care should change seasonally. I also show how to do the key steps to get your plant bloom in winter. Pruning in March, re-potting in May, and the trademark “short days/long nights” technique are all covered. 00:00 Introduction 01:16 How To Care For Poinsettias After Christmas 04:18 Step 1: Checking Root Color 04:58 Step 2: Prune it back 05:51 Step 3: Watering 06:25 Step 4: Repot Into Smaller Pot 08:24 Step 5: Follow Light Requirements & Create ‘Short Days’ 09:50 Step 6: Create Ideal Temperature 10:01 A Quick Recap And The Gift Download PlantIn App: https://myplantin.com/app Download our Top-Notch Poinsettia Care Guide in PDF: https://web-images.myplantin.com/Care+ Guide+Pointsettia.pdf Read us in the blog: https://myplantin.com/blog/what-to-do-with-poinsettas-after-christmas Ask the Botanist and get expert advice on any plant related topic: https://myplantin.com/expert-help/form
