An 8-inch poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) trained in a tree form, featuring vibrant red bracts and yellow cyathia flowers. This festive holiday plant displays a full, bushy shape ideal for seasonal decoration. Native to Mexico, poinsettias are air-purifying plants with colorful modified leaves called bracts that create the signature holiday appearance.

The plant thrives in bright indirect sunlight, preferring daytime temperatures between 65-75°F and nighttime temperatures of 55-60°F. Water when the top inch of soil becomes dry, typically once per week. Maintain humidity levels between 50-75% for optimal health. Keep away from cold drafts and direct heat sources.

With proper care including 14 hours of complete darkness daily for 8 weeks starting in mid-September, this poinsettia can rebloom annually and serve as a year-round houseplant rather than temporary holiday décor. Note that poinsettias contain mild irritants and should be kept away from pets and small children.
