Must-Have Holiday Plants

December Checklist

Nothing says "Christmas" like gorgeous red poinsettias! These classic flowers add brilliant color to any holiday decorating scheme. To keep yours looking their best, follow these simple tips:

•Display plants where they'll get plenty of bright, indirect light. Protect from sudden temperature changes and keep away from wood stoves, active fireplaces, and heater vents.

•Water whenever the top 1/2-inch of soil dries out.

•Apply half-strength liquid fertilizer every two weeks.
