Poinsettias are always there to brighten up cold, gray days.

Tip: Poinsettias will not withstand a frost and can be killed if temperatures go below 50 degrees for an extended period. That means getting a poinsettia home during the holidays can be dicey if you live in colder zones. Avoid leaving your new purchase in an unheated car, and protect it with a light covering when transporting it from store to car or car to home. The ideal temperature for growing poinsettias is between 65 and 70 degrees. Proper light, water, and warmth will help plants resist pests. The latex in poinsettias can cause a dermatological reaction in some people- play it safe and wear gloves when grooming. All parts of the poinsettia plant are mildly toxic, so keep the plants away from children and pets. Photos by @robcardillophoto
