Red Poinsettia Plant Care

To keep your red poinsettia plant looking fresh throughout the holidays, place it in bright, indirect light and avoid direct contact with hot windowpanes. Maintain even soil moisture, allowing excess water to drain freely to prevent root rot. With proper light, temperature, and watering habits, poinsettias maintain their brilliant color for weeks.

In frost-free climates, poinsettias can be planted outdoors in a location with bright light and protection from harsh afternoon sun. Provide well-drained soil and water deeply when the top inch becomes dry. Outdoors, these plants can grow into large shrubs, producing colorful bracts each winter with proper seasonal care.

Indoors, place your red poinsettia plant in bright, indirect light and keep it away from drafts, heaters, and cold windows. Water thoroughly and allow all excess moisture to drain to maintain healthy roots. If you wish to keep the plant past the holidays, prune lightly in spring and maintain bright light to encourage regrowth.

During the holidays, poinsettias need even moisture, steady temperatures, and bright light to maintain their vivid red bracts. After the festive season, prune back fading growth to encourage compact branching. In warm climates, poinsettias can resume outdoor growth; in cooler areas, maintain them indoors as a seasonal ornamental.

Expert Grower’s Tips for Red Poinsettias

Advice from our growing experts

Choose the Brightest Indoor Spot

Choose the Brightest Indoor Spot

Place your poinsettia where it receives strong, indirect light for 6–8 hours daily. Avoid hot windows since direct contact can scorch the bracts.

Water Only When Needed

Water Only When Needed

Always check soil moisture before watering. Hydrate the plant thoroughly, but never let it sit in pooled water, as soggy roots can quickly lead to decline.

Avoid Drafts and Temperature Fluctuations

Avoid Drafts and Temperature Fluctuations

Poinsettias are sensitive to sudden temperature changes. Keep them away from doors, fireplaces, heaters, or vents to preserve their vivid, long-lasting color.

These tips are based on 30+ years of professional growing experience at our Florida nursery.

Red Poinsettia FAQ

Poinsettias need bright, indirect light and consistently moist but well-drained soil. Water thoroughly whenever the top inch feels dry and always allow excess water to drain. Keep them away from drafts and temperature extremes to maintain bright, long-lasting color throughout the holiday season.

With proper care, red poinsettias can stay vibrant for 4–8 weeks or longer. Their bracts gradually fade after the holidays, but attentive watering and good lighting can extend their beauty. Some gardeners keep poinsettias year-round, though they are most commonly enjoyed as seasonal décor.

Poinsettias are mildly toxic to cats and may cause drooling, stomach discomfort, or vomiting if eaten. While not considered highly dangerous, it’s best to keep them out of reach of curious pets.

In warm regions, especially Zones 9–11, poinsettias can grow outdoors year-round. In colder climates, they must remain indoors since frost damages the plant. If grown outdoors, choose bright light and well-draining soil for best results.

Leaf drop usually occurs when poinsettias experience cold drafts, overwatering, or sudden changes in environment. Move your plant to a stable, warm location with bright light and let the soil partially dry between waterings to prevent stress.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
