Caring for a Poinsettia:

1.Lighting

The plant loves bright but diffused light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf damage.

2.Temperature

The optimal temperature is between +18°C and +22°C. The plant does not tolerate drafts or sudden temperature changes.

3.Watering

•Water the plant when the top layer of soil has dried out.

•Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

•Use room-temperature water.

4.Air Humidity

The poinsettia prefers moderate humidity. If the air is dry, you can mist the plant or place the pot on a tray with moist pebbles.
