Known for its vibrant red bracts and lush green foliage, this poinsettia plant adds a classic seasonal touch to any indoor space. With a height of 20–40cm, it fits beautifully on side tables, dining displays or windowsills, making it an ideal choice for Christmas décor or as a thoughtful holiday gift.
A Beautiful and Iconic Poinsettia Plant
This high-quality poinsettia plant has been carefully grown to ensure a full and healthy shape with deep colouring and strong foliage. The contrast between the bright red poinsettia flower bracts and the rich green leaves creates a striking display that instantly enhances any interior during the festive season. Whether placed in the living room, office, hallway or reception area, it brings a touch of traditional Christmas charm that never goes out of style.
Perfectly Sized for Seasonal Decorating
Supplied in a 10.5cm plastic pot, this poinsettia is easy to place directly into your own decorative or ceramic cover pot, allowing you to match it with your existing seasonal décor. Its compact height range of 20–40cm ensures it fits comfortably in smaller spaces while still offering bold visual impact. The plant arrives ready to display, requiring only simple placement in a warm, bright location to maintain its vibrant colour throughout the festive period.
How to Care for Your Poinsettia Plant
To keep your poinsettia looking its best, place it in bright, indirect light where it can enjoy consistent warmth. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as these may cause the leaves to drop. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings; poinsettias prefer light, occasional moisture rather than being kept wet. Maintaining moderate humidity and keeping the plant away from direct heat sources will help preserve the bold colour and fresh appearance of the red poinsettia flower for as long as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my plant arrive healthy and alive?
Yes! Every plant is hand-selected and carefully packed to arrive healthy. If your plant arrives damaged or in poor condition, contact us within 48 hours with a picture, and we’ll replace or refund it — no worries.
How are the plants packaged for shipping?
We use custom, eco-friendly boxes that keep your plant snug and protected. Each pot is wrapped to prevent soil spillage, and leaves are cushioned for a safe trip.
How long will shipping take?
We ship orders within 12 hours on working days. Delivery usually takes [1-2 days] depending on your location. You’ll get a tracking number once your plant ships.
What if my plant dies soon after arrival?
We offer a 30 day healthy plant guarantee. If your plant doesn’t make it despite proper care, send us a photo within that time and we’ll make it right.
Do you ship in cold or hot weather?
Yes, with care! During cold months we use heat packs and insulation; in hot months, we use breathable packaging. If the weather is extreme, we may delay shipping to protect your plant.
Unpacking & First Care
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Unpack it as soon as possible! Remove all wrapping carefully, check the soil moisture, and place the plant in bright, indirect light to help it settle after its journey.
My plant looks a bit droopy after shipping — is that normal?
Yes! Plants can experience mild stress from travel. Give it 2–3 days in gentle light, avoid repotting immediately, and water lightly if the soil is dry. Most plants perk up quickly.
Should I water my plant right after it arrives?
Check the soil first. If it feels dry an inch below the surface, water lightly. If it’s still moist, wait a few days before watering again — overwatering too soon can cause stress.
What if there’s some soil out of the pot or a broken leaf?
Minor soil displacement or leaf damage can happen during transit — it’s normal and doesn’t harm the plant’s health. Gently remove any broken leaves and give the plant a few days to recover.
Can I repot my new plant right away?
It’s best to wait about 2–4 weeks before repotting. This gives the plant time to adjust to its new environment. When ready, use fresh, well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes.
What’s the best spot to put my new plant?
Most plants prefer bright, indirect light — near a window but not in direct sun. Avoid placing it next to heating vents, air conditioners, or drafty doors.
Houseplant Care Questions
How often should I water my houseplants?
It depends on the type of plant and your home environment. Most prefer the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Always check the soil — it’s better to underwater than overwater.
How much light do indoor plants need?
Every plant has its preference:
- Low light: ZZ plant, snake plant, pothos.
- Medium light: Peace lily, philodendron, rubber plant.
- Bright/indirect: Monstera, fiddle leaf fig, succulents.
Avoid harsh midday sun unless your plant is sun-loving.
Why are my plant’s leaves turning yellow or brown?
Yellow leaves = usually overwatering.
Brown tips = often low humidity or too much direct light.
Trim damaged leaves and adjust watering or placement — your plant will bounce back.
Do I need to fertilize my houseplants?
Yes! Feed them once a month during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted houseplant fertilizer. Skip feeding in fall and winter when plants rest.
Are your plants pet-safe?
Many of our plants are pet-friendly, but some can be toxic if ingested. Check each product description for safety information before purchasing if you have pets or young children.
When should I repot my plant?
If roots are growing through the drainage holes or the plant dries out quickly after watering, it’s time. Move it to a pot about 1–2 inches wider with fresh soil.
I’m new to plant care — can you help me?
Of course! Every order comes with a simple care guide. You can also explore our Plant Care Library or message our team — we love helping new plant parents succeed.
How do I prevent pests like gnats or mites?
Inspect your plants regularly, avoid overwatering, and wipe leaves with a damp cloth. If pests appear, isolate the plant and treat with a mild soap solution or natural insecticide.
