We love this time of year here in the garden center, and we want to make sure you get the very best out of your holiday favorites! So, we made a list of quick care tips to help you out:
Poinsettias
- Place in indirect sunlight, indoors or out
- Water every other day to every 3rd day by setting in sink to soak, then drain or place 4-5 ice cubes per day in pot
- Fertilize every 2 weeks with Hasta Gro
- Periodically freshen up by pulling old leaves
Christmas Trees (Fresh Cut)
- Avoid placing tree in draft of heater or air conditioner
- Keep water reservoir filled! Tree will drink a lot at first and then slow down once the tree is hydrated
Living Christmas Trees
- Limit the amount of time they are indoors – up to 2 weeks is good
- Water when dry, about every 3 days depending on size of root ball
- At end of season, when moving back outdoors acclimate to full sun
Christmas Cactus
- Keep in indirect sunlight, indoors or out
- Water when dry, about every 4-5 days
- Fertilize every 2 weeks with Hasta Gro
English Ivy Topiaries
- Keep in indirect sunlight, indoors or out
- Water when dry, about every 7 days depending on root ball size and air humidity
- Again, fertilize with Hasta Gro every few weeks
- Trim as needed to shape our tuck new runners into the topiary form
Blooming Amaryllis
- Keep in good indirect indoor light
- Keep soil moist but not wet
- Once bloom fades, trim and plant in garden, leaving center of bulb above soil level
Blooming Cyclamen
- One more time…keep in good indirect indoor or outdoor light
- Water when dry
- Trim spent blooms to encourage new blooms
- Best outdoors in pots once holiday season is over
