- The bracts, often mistaken for flowers, surround the inconspicuous yellow flowers at the center, creating a visually stunning display.
- Beyond red, Poinsettias now come in various shades, including creamy whites and soft pinks, adding versatility to their festive appeal.
Care Tips
- Sunlight: Place your Poinsettia in bright, indirect light for at least six hours a day.
- Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, avoiding drafts and sudden temperature drops.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Care Tips
- Planting: Plant bulbs in well-draining soil, leaving the tips exposed.
- Sunlight: Provide ample sunlight for robust growth, placing them near a sunny window.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent bulb rot.
Amaryllis Bulbs

Care Tips
- Planting Depth: Plant the bulb with its upper third above the soil for optimal growth.
