A simple red poinsettia says CHRISTMAS like few other things do. It’s a beautiful, living reminder that the holidays are upon us and serves as a festive reminder of season at home or at work. But until you have seen OUR poinsettia collection here at Evergreen of Johnson City, you have no idea just how spectacular a poinsettia can be!!

And here are some tips on keeping your poinsettias fresh all season:
*A sunny south-facing window is ideal for poinsettias but anywhere they will get bright filtered light will work.
*If you put them in front of a window, avoid letting the leaves press up against the cold pane – it can damage the leaves.
*Cooler temperatures indoors – around 68 degrees – are ideal.
*Water regularly and keep the plant evenly moist, but don’t allow water to gather at their feet. Empty the saucer or planter of water shortly after adding water.
*A few leaves, especially interior ones, may turn yellow and drop off after bringing your plant home. Not to worry! This is a normal reaction as it acclimates to its new surroundings.
