Closet Poinsettia now
for holiday blooms
FLEMINGTON, N.J. - It’s
time to put the Poinsettias
back into the closet if you
hope to have colorful bracts
for the holiday season. It’s
already October and care
should commence on all the
holiday plants to insure
bountiful blooms by
December, says Robert
Schutzki, New Jersey
County Extension Agent.
Poinsettia, probably one of
the most popular holiday
bloomer, is a short day
plant. It requires a short day
or more important a long
dark period to initiate the
flower process. If plants are
to flower, they must be kept
in darkness from 5 p.m. to 8
a.m., from the first of Oc
tober to Thanksgiving.
Careful attention is essential
to insure that the dark period
is not interrupted by indoor
or outdoor lights. Quite often
commercial producers
experience problems with
street lamps or other ex
ternal lighting which
produce enough radiant
energy to prevent the nor
mal flower process.

Generally we can expect a
visual sign of flowering
approximately two to three
months after the initiation of
controlled daylight.
We can produce the short
day-light by placing the
plants in a closet or by
placing a box over the plant
for the recommended period
of time. Keep in mind that
the plant must not be
disturbed for that 15 hour
period.
During the light hours, the
plant should be placed in a
sunny window. A Southern
window will provide an
excellent condition. Try to
maintain soil moisture at
moderate and uniform
levels. The soil should
neither be soggy wet nor
bone dry. Fertilizer can be
applied either by liquid,
granular, or slow release
type. It has been shown the
Poinsettia requires a regular
feeding program.
Follow the directions on
your fertilizer container. It
will provide the required
rates.
