During the flowering period, maintain a good ventilation environment. In the early stage of flower bud differentiation, keep the temperature above 15 degrees, which is beneficial for the growth of leaves and flowers. Water appropriately, and after the flowers bloom, reduce watering to prevent the soil from being too wet.

During flower bud differentiation and full bloom, ensure adequate lighting, preferably full-day sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, the flowers will become dull and lack luster, or even fail to bloom. Therefore, make sure poinsettias get 8-9 hours of sunlight every day.

Poinsettias are fertilizer-loving plants. During the growing and flowering seasons, apply a diluted 5x well-rotted sesame paste fertilizer every 10 to 15 days. After autumn, you can also use 0.3% compound fertilizer, applying it once a week for 3 to 4 consecutive times to promote bract discoloration and flower bud differentiation.
