A must-have for the holiday season! The poinsettia attracts attention with its flamboyant coloring. Indeed, it is the bracts, the leaf that accompanies the flower, which become colorful during the winter season. Subsequently, the poinsettia bracts gradually lose their color. The poinsettia is generally replaced every year. However, if you wish to keep it as a green plant, or if you are a very enthusiastic gardener you can try to make it 'flower again'.
