Poinsettia Care 

• Poinsettias are tropical plants. If you are going to keep them outside on a porch, you need to be sure to bring them in when it is under 50 degrees Fahrenheit or if it is very windy (they are very fragile!)

• Poinsettias can last for a long time inside, and like to get a little dry in-between waterings. Think: not as much water, but more often.

• Always make sure the poinsettia is not sitting in water and has proper drainage. If you have a decorative sleeve on your poinsettia, please remove it before watering!

• They are slightly toxic to animals. If you have a pet that likes to munch on plants, please keep them out of reach to be safe!

• Sometimes you may get a brown leaf or two, it is important to pinch off the brown leaves as soon as you see them to prevent any browning from spreading.

Mum Care

• WATER!!! Mums need water every day, but it is always good to double check the soil and weight of the pot. Always water the roots not the foliage.

• Mums can survive in either sun or shade (outside only). If you want the blooms to open faster, you can put them in full sun. On the flip side, you can start them in the sun and then move them to the shade for longer lasting blooms.

• Mums are technically perennials, so if you so desire as to have some spring blooming mums, trim them back and keep them watered for an encore in next year!
