Poinsettia

ByMaria


Poinsettia is well known as a Christmas plant maybe because it changes color during the Christmas Holidays or winter. This poinsettia was from last year’s Christmas and I just took care of it up to now and I noticed the leaves are changing color. I did not do anything special really. Basically watering it diligently and maybe putting fertilizer once in while and it lasted up to now. I feel like I’ve accomplished something. I cant wait til it becomes really red in color like last year.
Poinsettia belongs to the Euphorbia family of plants.
