If you're afraid to decorate for the holidays with poinsettias because you've heard they're poisonous, relax. So, decorate with poinsettias without fear. She noted that poinsettias come in more colors than just red.
Poinsettias even come in hanging baskets.
Avoid direct heat from television sets or home heating systems. Excess heat or dry soil will cause the leaves to yellow and fall off. Other flowering plants for the holiday season include the cyclamen, Christmas cactus, gloxinia and florist mum, she said. There are also yellow-flowered Christmas cactus varieties. Sometimes you can find these flowering plants in combination dish gardens with foliage plants.
