From pot to vase - cut poinsettias in design

Most potted poinsettias make bad cut flowers. Their stems are short and they tend to wilt very quickly. I design with a variety adapted to be a cut called winter rose. Farmers plant this variety in greenhoused ground beds. Proper care and conditions produce viable cut poinsettia stems as tall as three feet! They are great for a festive winter vase arrangement.

Do you need to worry about the discharge from the pines affecting the other flowers? Beautiful arrangement

Hi! Thanks so much for your note. I have not had any problems with any pine sap affecting the other flowers. I do try to change the water or add clean water daily to keep everything fresh.
