What is the most popular Christmas plant?
The poinsettia. Its red leaves are the plant most people picture at Christmas, and Life is a Garden describes poinsettias as traditionally associated with the festive season. Our range carries it three ways: in red wrapping, in green wrapping, and paired with a bottle of red wine.
What are the best Christmas plants?
For tradition, a poinsettia. For someone who prefers a quieter colour scheme, a phalaenopsis orchid in a pot or vase suits the season without shouting Christmas. For something playful, the bonsai with a candy-cane Christmas stocking is a plant and a stocking in one gift.
How do you care for indoor poinsettias?
Keep it in bright light but out of the hot summer sun, and water only when the soil is dry to the touch. Water until it seeps out of the drainage holes, then let it drain. Life is a Garden notes that poinsettias do not like to dry out, but they do not like to sit in water either.
How long will a potted poinsettia last?
Months rather than days, if it is looked after. Life is a Garden says a potted poinsettia makes a bright, bold statement that will last for months.
How do I save my poinsettia plant for next year?
Plant it in the garden. In South Africa poinsettias grow outdoors and flower in winter, and Life is a Garden advises that once the leaves have fallen off a potted poinsettia, it can be planted outside, where it will naturally flower in the winter.
Christmas Plant Delivery South Africa
This range is built around the poinsettia, the plant most people picture at Christmas. The festive pieces are a poinsettia in red wrapping, a poinsettia in green wrapping, a poinsettia paired with a bottle of red wine, and a bonsai that arrives with a candy-cane Christmas stocking. Behind them sits a wider choice of phalaenopsis orchids for anyone who would rather send something that is not red. For the rest of your list, browse our Christmas gifts, and if you want a cut arrangement for the lunch table as well, see our festive flowers.

Poinsettias in a South African Summer
Poinsettias, also known as Mexican flame leaf, are a familiar garden plant here. According to the South African gardening site Life is a Garden, poinsettias in South Africa flower in winter, and once the leaves have fallen off a potted one it can be planted out in the garden, where it will flower naturally in winter. So a red poinsettia on a December table is a little out of step with the garden, and all the more festive for it. A gift poinsettia can go on to live in the garden rather than end up in the bin in January.
Looking After a Gift Plant in December
The same guide gives simple care rules for a potted poinsettia: keep it in bright light but out of the hot summer sun, and water only when the soil is dry to the touch. When you do water, keep going until water seeps out of the drainage holes, then let it drain, because poinsettias do not like to dry out but they do not like to sit in water either. If you are torn between a plant and flowers, our guide to the best flowers for Christmas compares the festive options, and for food alongside the greenery, browse our Christmas hampers.
