December 12th is National Poinsettia Day! It’s a day to celebrate one of the most recognizable flowers associated with the Christmas holiday season. Its association with Christmas originated in the 1500s in Mexico but it wasn’t until the 1920s when Paul Ecke, a farmer in California, developed a grafting technique that caused the seedlings to branch and create more flowers.

Happy National Poinsettia Day! We love them because come in so many beautiful varieties like classic reds, snowy whites, pinks, and marbled patterns. Plus, keeping them vibrant is easier than most people think! 🌺 ✨ Give them bright, indirect light (about 6 hours a day) ✨ Keep them away from drafts and heat vents — cold or hot air can make leaves drop ✨ Maintain temps between 65°–70°F — if you’re comfy, your plant is too ✨ Let the soil dry slightly before watering and avoid letting the plant sit

Happy National Poinsettia Day! Here are 5 interesting facts about these holiday favorites! 1. - They're not actually flowers - Those gorgeous red "petals" are modified leaves called bracts. The real flowers are the tiny yellow buds in the center. 2. - Poinsettias aren't poisonous - Despite the myth, they won't harm your pets or kids. A study showed you'd need to eat 500 leaves to get sick (but still, don't snack on them). 3. - They're wild in Mexico - In their native habitat, poinsettias grow as
