Poinsettia 'White'

Living up to its reputation as a holiday classic, the Poinsettia 'White' is an elegant houseplant native to Mexico. With its stunning display of crisp, white bracts – that are often mistaken for petals – this plant brings a touch of frosty winter charm indoors. The bracts surround the actual flowers of the plant, which are small and yellow, adding a delightful contrast to the pristine white. This beauty will reach about 2 feet in height and width, though with the right care, it can grow even larger, making it a statement piece in any home decor. In a larger container or a well-tended garden, the Poinsettia 'White' will grow into a small shrub, offering a grand display of its snowy bracts. However, in a pot, it maintains a more compact shape, making it an ideal tabletop or windowsill adornment. This plant is not a fast grower, but its growth is steady, ensuring that its beautiful display can be enjoyed for a long time. The Poinsettia 'White' doesn't just stop at its breathtaking bracts. In late fall and early winter, when the days get shorter, the plant begins its transformation. Its green leaves start to color, turning a brilliant white, signaling the arrival of the holiday season. This transformation, called photoperiodism, is a unique characteristic of poinsettias and is triggered by the length of daylight. This means that with a little careful planning, you can time the transformation of your Poinsettia 'White' to coincide with your holiday celebrations. Adding to the enchanting show put on by its bracts and leaves, the Poinsettia 'White' is also a symbol of purity and innocence in many cultures. Its white color is associated with peace and tranquility, making it an ideal gift for friends and family during the holiday season. It's also a popular choice for Christmas decorations, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any setting. The Poinsettia 'White' is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care, making it perfect for both experienced and novice gardeners. It prefers a sunny spot but can tolerate partial shade. It also needs well-drained soil and regular watering, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. With the right care, this plant can provide a stunning display year after year, making it a cherished addition to any home or garden.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
