Bo you nutwe it or throw it amy' THE SMART SOURCE I WY WILSONART INTERNATIONAL 9 Poinsettias are the plant we associate most with Christmas. It is the best selling potted plant in America. Christmas is over. Now the dilemma begins. Do I try to nurse it throughout the year in hopes it blooms next year, or do I just let it die and buy another one come December 2000? The magnificent color of the pcinsettia is actually the top leaves of the plant, which are also called bracts, says Jerry Goodspccd, Utah State University Extension horticulturist. Poinset-tia Poinset-tia flowers emerge as inconspicuous inconspicu-ous yellow blossoms in the center of the bracts. Poinsettia bracts are light sensitive, which means their coloring is in response to the light they receive during the day, or rather, the lack of light during the night. In their native country, Mexico, they begin their colorful show about Christmas time. Poinsettias are named after Joel Roberts Poinsett who was the first ambassador from America, Ameri-ca, Goodspeed explains. He was a great ambassador but is best remembered for bringing the .poinsettia plant back to his home in South Carolina in 1828. He had a greenhouse there and began growing and giving the plant to friends and neighbors. The poinsettias poin-settias became popular, and many people began seeking their beautiful beauti-ful color for the Christmas season. sea-son. In 1906, a man named Albert Al-bert Ecke started a small poinsettia poinset-tia growing operation in Los Angeles. He relocated his growing grow-ing business in Encinitas, Calif., in 1923, where it stands today. Poinsettias need a minimum of six hours of indirect light each day, he says. They enjoy the same room temperatures that we do-between 6s and 70 F. Water only after the soil becomes dry to depth of one to three inches. Keep poinsettias away from drafty locations, Goodspeed says. ' They hate cool temperatures, so avoid exposing them to temperatures tempera-tures below 50 F. Fertilize the poinsettias once the small yelloworange yel-loworange flower in the middle of the colorful bracts are through blooming. Apply a balanced, all purpose fertilizer and only water when necessary. With proper care, poinsettia bracts can be maintained until about March or April. Once they begin to fall, cut the plant back, leaving about six buds. For the first couple of weeks it will look like a stick.

A bag can be placed over the plant, or it can be set in a closet throughout the night. By the end of November, it will start to color and you will be able to enjoy its color for another season. "Or, you can just put it in a bag right now and escort it to the nearest trash receptacle, he says. I actually prefer letting the plant die about mid-February, and not worrying about saving it for the coming year." ? " - r ' - r ; r - r I.
