POINSETTIA Potted plant, red/Poinsettia, 12 cm (4 ¾ ")

Native to Mexico.

This plant is sensitive to dry surroundings. This may be the cause if the leaves start to fall off.

This plant is sensitive to over watering. Too much water in the pot can restrict the oxygen flow to the roots, causing damage to the plant.

Flowering plants bloom between a few days and several months depending on the quality of the care.

Give your plants a boost with fertiliser every month. If you notice that the plant has gone dormant - let it be until next season.

IKEA provides all potted plants with nutrient-rich soil, repotting is not needed until 1 year after purchase.

Remove dust every now and then to allow the plant to get as much light as possible.

The height of the plants can vary.
