The flower with red leaves is prettier than all other flowers. Why must you absolutely not keep it?

Some flower lovers may have never seen this kind of flower. Its leaves are red, and its flowers are also red. Its blooming period generally lasts half a year. This flower is the poinsettia. The poinsettia is not only easy to grow, but also very beautiful. However, the whole plant is poisonous. Flower lovers generally should not keep it in the bedroom; it can be grown in the yard, and the sap of the leaves is also poisonous. Never let children touch it.

The poinsettia can grow in an environment with a temperature of 18-25°C, and the poinsettia is relatively sensitive to plant moisture. As long as there is sufficient moisture, the poinsettia can grow in loose, breathable, and well-drained soil. Use 3 parts garden soil, 3 parts leaf mold, and 1 part decomposed cake fertilizer. You can add cinder and mix it in before use.

The poinsettia also likes light. For the differentiation of the poinsettia's bracts and flower buds, you can give the poinsettia 5 hours of light during the blooming period. Do not keep the poinsettia in a dark environment all the time, otherwise the leaves will not turn red, and its ornamental value will also decline.

If you want the poinsettia to grow well, it needs frequent fertilizing. During the flowering season, you can fertilize once a month, using diluted organic nutrient solution.

That is all for sharing the knowledge about the poinsettia. Flower lovers should usually pay attention to maintaining sufficient light, otherwise the poinsettia's leaves will not turn red, which affects its ornamental value. Also pay attention to fertilizing the poinsettia, and you also need to pay attention to watering. Only then can the poinsettia grow well. However, because the poinsettia is poisonous, flower lovers generally should not casually keep it at home.
