When Christmas melodies begin to ring out and festive lights illuminate the nights, we know it is time to welcome the Poinsettia, the official plant of Christmas, also known as the Christmas Flower. This year, at Eiviss Garden, we invite you to discover the diverse beauty of this emblematic plant that goes far beyond the classic red.
The tradition and colour of the Poinsettia
The Poinsettia is not just a plant; it is a symbol of festivity and the warmth of home. Its association with Christmas dates back to ancient Mexican traditions and its adoption by Spanish missionaries, who incorporated it into their celebrations.
Today, not only intense red, but also shades of pure white, soft pinks, vibrant oranges and yellows join the palette of colours that Eiviss Garden offers to complement the decoration of every home.
Decorating with Poinsettias: creative ideas
Focal point: A large Poinsettia can transform any corner into a festive focal point.
Natural garlands: Decorate your doors and shelves with Poinsettia bouquets, interspersed with lights for a cosier effect.
Touches of elegance: A vase filled with these flowers beside the fireplace adds sophistication and a unique festive touch.
Flower-filled windows: Windows adorned with Poinsettias catch the eye and reflect the spirit of the season.
Table centrepieces: Use Poinsettia leaves to create a central arrangement that will be a conversation starter.
How do you care for poinsettias all year round?
Turning the Poinsettia into a perennial companion is an art that requires dedication. At Eiviss Garden, we offer these tips so your Poinsettias keep their splendour long after the festive season:
Light and Location: Choose a well-lit space with indirect light to keep the leaves vibrant.
Balanced Watering: Keep the soil moist, but avoid excess water to protect its delicate roots.
Ideal Climate: A stable temperature between 15 and 21 degrees Celsius is the perfect environment for your Poinsettia.
Pruning and Feeding: Remove what is unnecessary and nourish with a fertiliser rich in calcium and magnesium every two weeks.
