Poinsettias
Poinsettias are easy to grow and can add a wide variety of color to your home. Poinsettias are available with white, pink, red, yellow, speckled, and even multi-colored bracts. More poinsettias are commercially grown in the world than any other houseplant or flower. Two-thirds of all poinsettias grown in the world are sold in the United States. Almost everyone in the United States buys one or two poinsettia plants every year, many people buy even more.

Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous plants. The milky sap is usually harmless but in rare cases it may irritate someone's skin. Fortunately the sap doesn't taste good and it may irritate the stomach, but it will not poison anyone. Even though poinsettias are easy to grow they are not "foolproof". Many people have problems with them dropping their leaves prematurely or losing their bracts. The length of blooming time depends on how well you take care of your plant.

• The most common poinsettia problem is leaves dropping off prematurely. Leaf drop can be caused by:
  1. Not enough light.
  2. Too much or too little water.
  3. Hot or cold drafts.
  4. Lack of fertilizer.
• To keep you poinsettias looking their best.
  1. Put your poinsettia in a place where it gets plenty of light.
  2. Keep the temperature constant, between 60 and 70 degrees.
  3. Water consistently and fertilize regularly.
  4. Keep your plant out of drafts.

Amaryllis

Nothing helps take the dreariness out of the winter days than fresh, blooming flowers. No flower is more spectacular than the Amaryllis. Amaryllis normally bloom in the spring, but when the bulbs are stored in cool temperatures of 55 degrees Fahrenheit for several weeks, the genetic timetable of the amaryllis bulb is set ahead and it can be in full bloom during the winter. Some varieties of Amaryllis will bloom earlier than others. Amaryllis bulbs are sometimes unpredictable. The bulbs may start growing and blooming immediately after planting but some bulbs may wait several weeks to start growing. Once the bulb starts growing it usually takes six to eight weeks for the blossoms to appear. After your blossoms have faded don't be too surprised if another blossom stem appears later in the spring or summer. top of page

Fresh Cut Christmas Trees. Wreaths and Garlands

Our 'Fresh-Cut' trees, garlands, and wreaths arrive the last week of November and are ready for purchase the day after Thanksgiving each year. Keep Your Fresh-cut Christmas Tree Fresh.

1. Test for freshness when you buy your tree.
2. Cut one inch off of the base of your tree and put your tree in a bucket of warm water immediately.
3. Use a water stand.
4. Do not cut bark off the tree to make it fit into your tree stand.
5. Always use miniature lights.
6. Never, never have a fire in the same room as a Christmas Tree.
7. Spray your tree with "Wilt Prufe". top of page

Potted Christmas Trees

You can enjoy a potted tree inside for Christmas and then plant it outside after Christmas: instead of just throwing your tree away. Colorado Spruce seems to be the favorite tree for this purpose, however, Austrian Pine and Scotch Pine are just as nice as a potted Christmas tree. For the best results follow these simple guidelines:

1. Keep your tree inside the house 10 to 14 days.
2. Keep your tree as cool as possible while inside the house.
3. Water your tree thoroughly every two or three days.
4. Spray your tree with Wilt Prufe just before you bring the tree inside and repeat the spray when you take the tree back outside.
5. Protect your tree for a week or two after you take it back outside.
