Hoover – Fisher Florist offers fresh and elegant Poinsettias to celebrate this Holiday Season
College Park Maryland Flower Delivery
Each year, December 12th is designated as Poinsettia Day. This beautiful plant has been displayed in homes and businesses for generations and is recognized as the traditional Christmas plant. An American botanist, physician and Minister to Mexico sent cuttings of the plant he had discovered in Southern Mexico to his home in Charleston, South Carolina. Botanically, the plant is known as Euphorbia Pulchritude and the common name is Poinsettia.
Poinsettias are the bestselling potted plants in the U.S. and Canada. It is estimated each year the sale of Poinsettias accountant for approximately $250,000,000. In July of 2002, the House of Representatives created Poinsettia Day.
In Mexico, the plant is called the Flower of the Holy Night. The Spanish translation is La Flor de la Nochebuena. As the legend goes, a young girl was very upset because she had no gift to honor the Baby Jesus in a Christmas Procession. An angel spoke to her with the message that any gift given with love is the best gift. The young girl then gathered weeds by the roadside to place around the manger. Miraculously these weeds sprouted into the beautiful red star flower we think of as Poinsettia.
Some people want to keep their Poinsettia after the Christmas season is over. It is actually a plant that with proper care you can use over and over again as a holiday decoration. The plant has to be kept in a spot where it can receive at least six hours of indirect sunlight each day. With normal watering until the first of April, the Poinsettia Plant can then have the stems cut down to about four inches. Then it can be repotted in fresh potting mix. Continue to water so that soil feels moist to the touch. Once the nighttime temperature stays above 50 degrees, the plant can be moved outdoors. You can research additional Poinsettia care instructions so that by the time Christmas rolls around, your Poinsettia will be ready for holiday display.
