Everyone usually has a potted poinsettia out for the holidays. Have you ever tried using them as floral centerpieces or accents for your holiday gatherings? I had not either until I saw an online post a few years ago and was inspired. Now every holiday season, I love putting the blooms around my house!
The blooms are so full that they take up a large amount of space on your table. They will last at least 1 week in the water; mine have lasted 2 weeks this year!
Tips:
When a stem is cut, this white, milky liquid drips out of the branches. Hold the cut stem over your kitchen sink, run some cold water over the stem to help the solution to exit the stem. Once this is done, they are ready to put around your home.
For glassware, I use everything from bud vases to cute candy/sundae bowls. My favorite glassware for poinsettias stemless martini glasses!
I do recommend changing out the water after the 1st week of having them out.
I purchased a medium size poinsettia at Walmart this year for around $12 and I put out 7 floral displays. This is a steal, considering a large flower bouquet costs around $10+.
