Poinsettia

Christmas Star (Poinsettia) – The Symbol of Christmas and Elegance

The Christmas Star (Euphorbia pulcherrima), also known as Poinsettia, is an essential part of Christmas decorations. Originally from Mexico, this plant is associated with Christmas legends. Its red bracts resemble flowers, and together with dark green leaves, they create the traditional Christmas color combination.

Why is the Christmas Star a symbol of Christmas?

The Poinsettia became a Christmas symbol because it blooms during the winter season, and its vibrant red bracts represent joy, love, and the festive spirit. According to a Mexican legend, a child brought a simple plant as a gift to the church, and it miraculously bloomed into a beautiful Christmas Star.

How to Care for a Christmas Star?

• Place it in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight.
• Protect it from drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
• Water sparingly, only when the soil feels dry—overwatering can harm the plant.
• To encourage reblooming, provide it with a dark period of 12–14 hours daily in autumn.

• Small (15–20 cm) – Perfect for smaller spaces and festive decorations.
