History of the Poinsettia: The legend of the poinsettia tells of a poor village boy in Mexico who wanted to give the Holy Child a gift, but had no money. In desperation, he picked some weeds on his way to church to leave as his gift. He prayed for God to help him show his love and God answered by turning the weeds into a beautiful star shaped flower with bright red leaves. The poinsettia is a symbol of how Jesus meets the needs of His believers.
The Poinsettia Flower The poinsettia originally comes from Mexico. The leaves of the poinsettia are very sensitive to light. During the darkest weeks of the year the leaves at the end of each stalk react to the shortage of sunlight by changing color. Although people commonly refer to the poinsettia’s scarlet blooms as flowers, in fact only the yellow buds at their centers are flowers. The red halos that surround them are composed of a special kind of leaf known as a bract. The poinsettia can be found in several colors but red is by far the most popular. The leaves that crown the end of each poinsettia stalk undergo a seasonal color change in December, turning from green to red. A poinsettia can thrive for weeks beyond the holidays if it is placed in indirect sunlight for at least six hours a day. It must be kept away from cold drafts and excessive heat. Water a poinsettia when it feels dry. Use an all-purpose fertilizer once a month. Poinsettias are actually helpful in removing pollutants from indoor air.
