This poinsettia is one of the most recognizable plants of the Christmas season, yet many shoppers struggle to keep it thriving beyond the January lull.
Lidl’s poinsettia
Lidl introduces two sizes of Easter flowers. The Mini version is priced at 0.99 euros and stands about 16 centimeters tall. For those who want a bolder display, there is a larger option ranging from 40 to 50 centimeters in height and priced at 3.59 euros.
This Christmas plant is easy to identify and popular for decorating interiors. It features dark green leaves with bright red upper leaves, which many people perceive as the flower itself. The classic red variety is widely used in holiday decor.
How to care for poinsettia
While the poinsettia makes a striking display when purchased, it often loses some vitality and leaves after a few weeks. This indoor plant benefits from attentive care to prolong its life.
Poinsettias prefer bright, indirect light and should be kept out of direct sun. They thrive in stable temperatures and higher humidity, so extreme heating or cooling is not ideal. The optimal range is about 20 to 22 degrees Celsius; sudden shifts can cause leaf drop.

One practical trick to keep the plant moist without soggy roots is to place a shallow dish of water and stones at the bottom of the pot. The plant draws moisture from the reservoir, while the roots avoid direct contact with standing water.

Watering is another essential aspect to keep the Christmas Eve flower thriving for months or even years. A common method is to water by immersion, placing the plant in a shallow dish of water for about 15 minutes. After that, let the substrate dry slightly before the next watering to prevent root rot.
