049. Poinsettias: History & Care




Grow Well show

Summary: Poinsettias are the number one potted plant sold in the US with over $250 million made annually. 80% of the people who purchase them are women and I would wager to guess that 99% of those poinsettias are tossed in the trash come February (that statistic is 100% made up based on my own personal experience…...of throwing them away every year!) Because they are difficult to grow indoors! I have heard people tell me they are easy and some people tell me they are difficult. After spending the better part of the day learning about them I am gonna go with the later - not so easy, but SO fun and beautiful for a season! We’ll dive into care and some anatomy (spoiler: they “flower” isn’t really a flower!) ad the incredible history behind these beloved Christmas plants.
