Christmas Flowers London - How to Care for your Christmas Poinsettia

Poinsettias are one of the most popular plants for Christmas gifts in London and  table centrepieces, but they can be tricky to care for and many don’t make it past the New Year. However, if you know how to treat them right and give them a little TLC, they can thrive well past Christmas and their coloured bracts can last until Easter or even longer if well maintained. These Christmas flowers for delivery in London really don’t like cold draughts, but they don’t like direct sunlight either, so firstly place them somewhere warm with good but not direct light and try to avoid them dropping to a temperature below 55F (13C).

Overwatering damages these Christmas decorations too, so wait until they dry out completely before re-watering, then give them a good drink. As they are originally from warmer climes than the UK, they appreciate some humidity too, so place their pot on a pebble tray to create a humid atmosphere around it and prolong the bract life. London florist and online shop Flowers24Hours features a range of different potted poinsettia arrangements among its Christmas flowers and gifts for same delivery in London and next day delivery to the UK, so it’s not too late to perk up your winter windowsill with one of these cheery red displays!
