5 Helpful Tips For Poinsettia Care
November 9, 2020
Holding a fundraiser is one of the best ways to spread awareness about a cause while earning extra funds. Whether you’re running a non-profit, raising money for your church, or trying to fund your school’s field trips, holding a poinsettia fundraiser is a great option. After all, the holidays are right around the corner: there’s no better option than selling beautiful poinsettias.
Why poinsettias?
Poinsettias have always been associated with the end of the year since that’s when the perennial plants showcase their gorgeous red color. While their beauty is not technically derived from the ‘flowering’ part of the plant, their luscious red leaves retain their color for long periods of time, making them an ideal piece of decor around the holidays. Many commercial greenhouses wait until the poinsettias are just right. That way, they are able to get the timing of the red leaves to appear between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Since they can successfully bloom year after year with the proper care, these perennials are a plant that keeps on giving.
Poinsettias are also one of the most popular plants for celebrating Christmas. The plant is considered a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem because of its pointed shape and the blood-red quality of its leaves resembling the blood of Jesus Christ. Even if you’re not particularly religious, however, the red and green aspects of the poinsettia naturally make it a shoo-in for America’s favorite Christmas plant.
