For the past 7 years we have bought our Poinsettias finished from Ullerys, but we just found out they were bought out by Bell and will no longer being selling wholesale. They will be selling to Home Depot only. Well, we are thinking about growing our own this year and I'm wondering if anyone has done this and if you could offer me any tips you may know. We would be getting them in as rooted cuttings. Thanks!
Has anyone had experience growing poinsettias?
Several years ago, my neighbor across the street set out an after-Christmas pot of poinsettias in his yard and they grow to about 6 feet every couple years. Each branch grows a bract of the signature red flowers. He cut them back this year and they're only about 3 feet tall now. But, they still bloom like clockwork. He doesn't do anything special to them. They're on the southeast corner of his garage and get full sun every day. This is in Southern California, by the way.
