Monty Don's 10 minute hack will keep poinsettia looking good for months Poinsettias are a favourite choice for adding a burst of festive colour to homes during the Christmas period.
Monty advised: "They like plenty of water but let the compost dry out before giving them a really good soak, standing the pot in a sink full of water.
He emphasised that poinsettias thrive in moist warmth, so it's essential to avoid placing them in hot and dry areas to ensure their continued health and aesthetic appeal, reports the Express.
Gardening expert Monty Don has offered some advice on how to keep poinsettias looking appealing well past the holiday season.
"So keep them where there is a constant average temperature, avoiding draughts, cold windows or even very bright spots that can get very hot in the middle of the day."
