This bulb garden will flower normally under a wide range of light conditions. It prefers moderately moist soil, allowing the soil surface to dry between waterings. Bulb plants do best in cool locations--approximately 60-65 degrees in the daytime.
You can plant these bulbs in your garden. After flowering, keep plants cool and moist. When the stems and leaves are no longer green, cut them off. In mid-spring, plant your bulbs outdoors in a sunny, well drained area. The bulbs may reflower the next spring depending on the size of the bulb and local climatic conditions.
Place in a spot that gets medium or diffused sunlight. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and never let plant sit in water. Most plants prefer average to higher than normal humidity in a house. Misting the plant with a hand water mister will give them the extra humidity they need. You may fertilize using an all-purpose houseplant food. Be sure to follow the manufacturers' instructions.

Display your poinsettia in a room with bright but indirect sunlight, avoiding hot or cold drafts. Allow the soils' surface to dry, then water thoroughly. Do not let plant sit in water.
It has been proven that the poinsettia is not poisonous or toxic, but as with any ornamental plant, keep out of the reach of small children.
To get the plant to rebloom next year, take care of the plant all winter. When the blooms (called bracts) fade, cut plant back to approx. 8 inches. Lightly fertilize once a month. When the outside temperature gets above 50 degrees, move the plant outdoors, first in indirect, then direct light. Cut the stems and branches back twice during the summer. Repot if necessary. Bring the plant indoors in early September to a space that gets six or more hours of direct sunlight. From October 1 to mid-December, the plant must have 14 hours of complete darkness and 10 hours of natural light. The light/dark period is what forces the bracts to change color.
