    Poinsettia scientifically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima is a commercially important plant species of the diverse spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). The plant is native to Mexico and Central America, but it can be found in subtropical areas around the world today. The poinsettia was first described by Europeans in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. Genus name probably honors Euphorbus, physician to the King of Mauretania. Specific epithet pulcherrima means very beautiful.  The plant derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the US in the 1820s.

    Apart from Poinsettia it is also known as Christmas-flower, Christmas-star, Common poinsettia, Dazzle, Lobsterplant, Lobster plant, Mexican flame leaf, Mexican flameleaf, Mexican poinsettia, Painted leaf and Garden poinsettia. The poinsettias are also known as flame-leaf flowers or lobster flowers due to their red color. It has numerous medicinal properties which include its use in the treatment of gonorrhea, respiratory tract infection, malaria, eczema, asthma, and warts cure. Poinsettia has been used as a hair removal cream in Mexico and Guatemala. The latex has been used as a remedy for toothache and anti-vomiting agent. Though often stated to be highly toxic, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children. Exposure to the plant, even consumption, most often results in no effect, though it can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

    Plant Description

    Poinsettia is a deciduous to semi-evergreen tall, rangy shrubs or small trees that normally grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet. Cultivated varieties are much smaller (up to 2 feet in height). The plant is found growing in moist, wet, wooded ravines, rocky hillsides, deciduous tropical forests and seasonally dry forests. The plant needs well-drained, loamy, peat-based soil for good growth. Place the plant in indirect sunlight for at least six hours per day. If direct sunlight can’t be avoided, diffuse the light with a shade or sheer curtain. Water your plant when the soil feels dry to the touch. Don’t overwater your plant, or allow it to sit in standing water. It is commonly used as a Christmas decoration and this makes its majority of exposures in the months of November, December, January, and February.

    Leaves

    Leaves are large, dark green, elliptic to oblong-elliptic with smooth edges (entire leaf margin) or pointed lobes and a long, thin tip. They emerge from smooth, green erect stems. The upper ones are lanceolate, 10 to 18 centimeters while the lower ones are entirely green, obscurely repand or slightly lobed, long-petioled, slightly hairy beneath. The upper ones, at the time of flowering are uniformly bright-red.

    Flowers               

    Flowers (or cyathia) are borne at the stem tips in winter. The actual flowers are quite small, egg-shaped and occur at the base of the bracts (they are the yellow structures at the center of the brilliantly colored bracts). The bracts are actually modified leaves-in the species there usually are 8 to 10 bracts that are 4-7 in (10.2-17.8 cm) long. Bracts are similar in size to the leaves and are most often bright crimson red, but can also be cream coloured, pink, apricot, pale green or white. In double-flowered cultivars, the bracts become progressively smaller towards the center ultimately replacing the flowers. The flowers initially have red or green tips, but later release yellow pollen. The showy colored part of poinsettias that most people think is the flowers are actually these colored bracts (modified leaves). Many plants in this family ooze a milky sap. Poinsettia discards bracts after pollination.

    Fruit

    Fertile flowers are followed by very small and three lobed capsule with each lobe containing an oblong seed. Ripe fruit splits to release numerous seed.

    Types of Poinsettias

    There are well over 100 different poinsettia types. However, you won’t find such a large selection in shops. Here are some of the popular poinsettias types:

    Solid Colors Poinsettias

    You may be the most familiar with this type of Poinsettias. Poinsettias with solid red bracts are the most popular throughout the Christmas season, but you can also see poinsettias in solid pink, white, orange, yellow, and even purple.

    Marble Poinsettias

    These plants have lovely two-tone bracts with a deeper color in the center, such as red or pink, and lighter hues around the margins, such as yellow or cream.

    Jingle Poinsettias

    These poinsettias, sometimes known as glitter poinsettias, have bracts of one solid color, red or pink, with specks of a lighter color sprinkled throughout, such as white or cream. These plants stand out even more when paired with traditional all-red poinsettias.

    Rose Poinsettias

    Rose poinsettias feature bracts that curve slightly back and under, giving them the appearance of clusters of roses in full bloom, rather than the straight, pointed bracts. This kind is most commonly seen in conventional poinsettia red, although white and pink rose-shaped bracts are also available.

    Caring tips for Poinsettias

    To keep poinsettias healthy for a long time is easy through proper care. Just follow the below poinsettia care instructions:

    Right Environment

    Caring for poinsettias starts with maintaining the right environment for the plants. They should be kept in a humid and semi-cool climate. Poinsettia care indoors requires them to receive bright yet indirect light with ample moisture. Poinsettias plants can be kept near other plants to scale up the humidity or near humidifiers. Often people keep moving these plants from cold to hot areas – this shouldn’t be done as it hampers their growth.

    Extensive Watering

    Poinsettias should be extensively watered. However, they are not to be overwatered. To ensure no overwatering, proper drainage should be present. Also, don’t keep poinsettia pots in saucers as the excess water drained will be collected leading to overwatering. To ensure there is no overwatering, water poinsettias till the compost surface appears completely moist.

    Proper Fertilizing

    Use suitable fertilizing techniques to ensure the proper growth of your poinsettias. Fertilize the poinsettias plants while they are blooming. Apply fertilizer every few weeks or once a month, or you can use houseplant fertilizer weekly to feed the plant.

    Dropping Leaves

    If the leaves of poinsettias are dropping or turning yellow, then find out the correct reason to revive their growth. You may be exposing the plant to extreme heat or dryness or watering it erratically. Keep the plant in the right environment and water adequately for good growth.

    Proper Light Exposure

    Poinsettias should receive adequate light for proper growth. However, their growth gets hindered due to direct sunlight. So, they should be kept in spots with indirect light.

    Maintain the Soil Moisture

    Keep a regular check on the soil moisture level for the healthy growth of your poinsettias. Use a pebble tray that will keep the soil and pot moist, prolonging the plant’s life.

    Keep at Correct Temperatures

    Poinsettias should be kept at the right temperature to boost their growth. Average room temperature is ideal for them. They are sensitive to extreme temperatures – making sure they are neither kept near any heat source nor any cold drafts. Too much heat or cold will shorten their life and blooming period.

    Precautions

    Poinsettia plants are less toxic than once believed. In most cases, poinsettia exposure causes only discomfort, including:

    Mild, itchy rash

    Skin contact with the sap of a poinsettia plant can cause a rash. If this happens, wash the affected area with soap and water. Apply a cool compress to ease itching.

    Mild stomachache, vomiting or diarrhea

    This can happen after eating part of a poinsettia plant. Severe signs and symptoms are unlikely. If you find a child eating a poinsettia plant, clear and rinse his or her mouth.

    Eye irritation

    If the sap of a poinsettia plant comes in contact with the eyes, they can become red and irritated. If this happens, flush the eyes with water.

    Allergic reaction

    Some people are more sensitive to poinsettia plants than are others. Reactions to poinsettia plants are more common among people who have latex allergies, since latex and poinsettia plants share several proteins. Also, if you’re allergic to avocados, bananas, chestnuts, kiwis and passion fruits you might have a greater chance of being allergic to poinsettia plants. In case of a severe reaction, seek prompt medical attention.

    Other Facts
