holiday

Seasonal beauties bring holiday flair, color, and tradition into your home.

We can picture it now…

The classic red glow of poinsettias.

The sweet autumn energy of mums.

The lucky allure of shamrocks.

They are the anchors to our holidays and the talk of the town.

If you’re brightening your holiday décor, adding a cozy feel any time of year, or welcoming a little luck into your home, these plants are guaranteed to make a statement.

Here’s how you keep poinsettias, mums, and shamrocks thriving:

    Poinsettias are the undisputed stars of the holiday season. It’s no contest! 

    Their velvety red and green foliage stand out, but their color variety and style help them to flourish long beyond December.

    How often should I water a poinsettia?

    Poinsettias prefer evenly moist soil, but overwatering can lead to root rot. 

    The key? Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and always ensure proper drainage.

    Are poinsettias safe for dogs and cats?

    While not highly toxic, poinsettias can cause mild irritation if ingested.

    Bottom line: if you have curious pets, keeping these beauties out of reach is best.

      Mums are the ultimate autumn backyard dinner table centerpiece. 

      They are the stars of porches everywhere, bursting with vibrant oranges, yellows, and purples. 

      Give them the right care, and they will thrive beyond fall.

      Are mums perennials?

      Yes—some varieties are perennials! 

      Hardy garden mums can return year after year when planted outdoors, while florist mums are typically treated as annuals.

      How long do mums last?

      Good news: potted mums can last several weeks indoors. 

      Outdoors, these perennials can bloom for years with the right pruning and winter protection.

        The green, compact shamrock plant isn’t just for St. Patrick’s Day.

        A low-maintenance beauty with delicate, clover-like leaves that open and close with the light, it’s a total stunner no matter the occasion. 

        Is a shamrock an indoor or outdoor plant?

        Shamrocks can thrive both indoors and outdoors.

        Indoors, they prefer bright, indirect light. 

        Outdoors, they enjoy partial shade and well-draining soil.

        How to care for a shamrock plant?

        These charming plants prefer drier soil. Water only when the top layer feels dry.

        They also appreciate a dormancy period in winter: a little rest goes a long way!

        How often should I water a shamrock plant?

        Water about once a week, depending on your home’s humidity.

        Too much water can lead to root rot, so when in doubt, let it dry out.
