Some bloomin ’ suggestions
You can enjoy the poln
settia you received for
Christmas beyond the
holidays if you follow these
tips from the New Jersey
Cooperative Extension
Service at Cook College,
Rutgers University.
Keep you polnsettia in a
sunny warm window but
make sure it’s not drafty. If
there’s danger of chilling at
night, take the plant out of
the window before you go to
bed.
Try to maintain soil
moisture at moderate and
uniform levels. The soil
should be neither soggy wet
nor bone dry. When the top of
the soil is dry, water it.
After the plant stops
blooming and the leaves
begin to fall, gradually stop
watering It. The leaves will
soon turn yellow and drop.
Store the dried-off plant in
a cool, dart basement at SO
to 60 degrees until April or
May and then water it
lightly. Give it just enough
