Poinsettias: Durable Plants With Good Care The holiday poinsettia plant, with proper care, can bring pleasure for weeks or even months after the holiday season ends. George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county, says that house temperatures, as well as light and humidity levels, affect the length of time the plant will remain at­ tractive. The poinsettia, first brought to this country from Mexico in 1825, has long been the traditional Christmas pot plant. Red-flowered forms are most popular, but white, pink, and variegated pink an<K white varieites are also grown. Most of the newer, poinsettia varieties retain their leaves and bracts remarkably well and may stay in good shape for several months. Yet poinsettias are somewhat sensitive to drafts, too cool or too warm temperatures, sudden tem­ perature changes, dry fit- • V (p that of Woodstock and ran about $2,000 under the top city of Crystal Lake.

These adverse conditions can cause ' loss of leaves and withering of bracts-the showy colored structures commonly called "flowers." The true flowers are actually the yellow parts tucked down in the center of each whorl of bracts. Young recommends a uniform room temperature for poinsettias between 60 and 68 degrees F. plus some humidity, if possible. Temperatures about 75 degrees F., are detrimental, particularly in a dry atmosphere. Put your plant near a bright window, just out of direct sunlight. But remove if from the window at night if there is danger of chilling. It's been said that more plants are killed or damaged by "drowning" than anything else. Young points out that plant roots need air as well as water, so avoid over watering. Learn to gauge the moisture content of soil by its color and feel. As the surfact dries, it gets light colored. When soil is too dry, it becomes Arm and sometimes cracked; when saturated, it feels slimy and sticky. Try to maintain the soil moisture at moderate and uniform levels, neither soggy- wet /nor bone-dry, Young suggests. And never let the pot stand in water for any extended period of time. If the plant came wrapped in foil or other water-tight material, be sure to punch holes in the bottom-or remove the wrap entirely-so water won't be trapped inside. Try to prevent the plant from wilting.
