Houseplants at Christmas
House plants adding a splash of colour at Christmas.

Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima)
Poinsettia
Poinsettias do not like draughts, dont like to sit in water and prefer indirect light rather than sitting on a window-sill. It makes them sound fussy – but they should remain flowering for 4-6 weeks and can last longer – although getting them to colour again is tricky.

Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera)
Christmas Cactus
Chrsitmas Cactus are easy to grow and very long lived plants that flower freely between November and January.
PS: If anyone give you an Amaryllis bulb as a present why not wait for a few weeks to plant it and enter it into the Caley Spring Bulb Show!
