Euphorbia pulcherrima Skystar

Euphorbia (poinsettia) is the plant that delights our eyes every winter season, heralding the arrival of Christmas.
Poinsettia was cultivated by the Aztecs in the moist mountainous regions of Mexico. They used this plant to fight fever. Later, in the 17th century, the Franciscans used the flowers in various religious ceremonies. Its cultivation and popularization began in the 1960s, and soon the plant became indispensable in Christmas decorations.

Characteristics: Starting in November, the leaves of this plant turn red, beginning from the tip towards the base. Poinsettia should be kept away from drafts and excessive watering. In May, the shoots are pinched, which is also the time to propagate it; in winter, the new shoots form the colored bracts the fastest. It is a fast-growing shrub, valued for its dense and brightly colored crown.
