Descripción
¡El nombre latino de la Poinsettia realmente da en el blanco! Su llamativo colorido no se encuentra en las flores sino en las hojas brillantes (un tipo especializado de hoja conocido como "bráctea") que rodean las flores mucho más pequeñas. Desde el rojo brillante hasta el rosa pálido, pasando por el blanco o una mezcla de ambos, es el color de la flor de pascua lo que le ha ganado un lugar en el corazón de la temporada navideña. Se asociaron con la temporada gracias a su parecido con las estrellas y siguen siendo un elemento básico del invierno gracias a su impresionante color y belleza. ¿Qué mejor centro de mesa podría haber para tu mesa repleta de comida o rodeada de sobras? Y la mejor parte es que, con el cuidado adecuado, ¡este puede durar hasta el próximo año y más allá!

Luz

Lo mejor es una luz brillante e indirecta, ¡y tu flor de pascua también agradecerá un toque de sol de la mañana o de la tarde! DORMA: Manténgalo en un lugar luminoso durante la primavera y principios del verano. Para que vuelva a florecer en diciembre, asegúrese de que reciba 15 horas de oscuridad (por ejemplo, colocándola en una caja o debajo de una manta) desde agosto hasta mediados de noviembre; Una vez que las hojas comiencen a enrojecerse, aumente gradualmente la cantidad de luz que recibe para imitar el comienzo de la primavera.

Agua

Mantenga húmeda la tierra de su flor de pascua; solo deje que el cuarto superior se seque entre aguas y use agua tibia para evitar golpes. El riego excesivo es común; ¡No dejes que tu planta se asiente en suelo empapado! DORMANCIA: Aumente ligeramente el riego hacia el final de la primavera (imitando el final del verano), asegúrese de que no esté demasiado regado ni empapado mientras esté en su habitación/caja oscura durante períodos más prolongados, y aumente el riego nuevamente a medida que aumente la luz una vez que las hojas comiencen a secarse. enrojecer.

Humedad
La humedad promedio está bien, siempre y cuando tu casa no esté demasiado seca y la planta no esté demasiado cerca de un radiador.

Suelo

Utilice una tierra para plantas de interior con buen drenaje y que retenga la humedad. Trasplante cada dos años a medida que la planta crece y agregue arena o perlita en un lugar más oscuro para minimizar el riego excesivo.

Alimento
Abonar cada cuatro riegos en otoño e invierno utilizando un abono de 'plantas con flores'. DORANCIA: Utilice un fertilizante para "plantas de interior" desde principios de primavera hasta finales del verano y reduzca a cada 6 aguas.

Temperatura

Lo ideal es entre 15-25°C. DORMENCIA: La temperatura se puede reducir a 12°C durante la primavera para su período de dormancia; no dejes que baje de los 15°C durante la floración.

Apto para mascotas
No, esta planta es tóxica para las mascotas y los humanos pequeños.

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
