Christmas plants do not have to be disposed of after they have faded.

With the right care, poinsettias will continue to bloom next year.

During

Advent,

many people like to decorate their home with typical Christmas * plants.

Poinsettias are particularly popular.

The Christmas plants are not only available in the garden center, almost every supermarket around the corner sells

poinsettias

and

amaryllis

at this time of year

and

Christmas roses

in his assortment.

But after Christmas and the flowering season are over, most of the Christmas plants end up in the trash.

This is a shame, because

with the right care, they will bloom again in the New Year

.

Then you already have the perfect flowery Christmas decoration at home for the upcoming pre-Christmas season.

Your poinsettia will bloom again next year

The poinsettia is

probably the most famous Christmas plant

with its beautiful,

bright red color

. Even the Aztecs admired them, especially for their

fever-relieving properties

. The poinsettia was also

highly valued

as a

dye

in the Aztec Empire. Today there is hardly a home that is not decorated with poinsettias during Advent.

The Christmas plant feels most comfortable at warm temperatures of

15 to 22 degrees

Celsius in a

bright location without drafts

.

Poinsettias should be

watered with lukewarm water

a maximum of

twice a week

.

Since the

winter star

, as the poinsettia is now also called, is a

perennial plant

, with proper care it will bloom again in the next run-up to Christmas.

After blooming, the plant should

receive

light for eleven hours a day

, but then put in a

dark place

or even

covered

will.

In this way they create the optimal lighting conditions in the tropical home.

Bring the Christmas cactus to bloom again

During the Advent season, Christmas cacti are also very popular. The

Christmas cactus

is also called

Schlumbergera

and belongs to the genus of succulents. The

pink flowers of

this Christmas plant

shine from November

. A

bright location

with sufficient sunlight is very important for the Christmas cactus. Even if direct midday sun should be avoided. The succulent plant, which

should be

watered moderately with lukewarm water,

feels most comfortable

at a temperature of

15 to 20 degrees

Celsius. When the Christmas cactus has faded, the

resting phase

begins

. Then you should water your Christmas plant even less and

do without fertilizer completely

.

In summer you can put Christmas cacti in the garden.

Best in a place in partial shade.

When it gets colder again, your Christmas cactus will bloom again in your apartment just in time for Advent.

How do you take care of Christmas roses?

Because the

Christmas rose can

also overwinter under a blanket of snow in the wild, it is also called a

snow rose

. The Christmas plants, whose flowers often open exactly on Christmas, do not feel particularly comfortable in apartments. Because Christmas roses

need cooler temperatures

. It is therefore advisable to only place the plants in the apartment as a decoration over the Christmas period. Then they should be brought outside again. In general, Christmas roses are easy to care for. You should only note that the

soil is rich in humus

,

calcareous

and well-

drained

. After the flowering period, you should cultivate your Christmas rose in a shady place.

Hibernating amaryllis: Here's how

Another famous Christmas plant is the

amaryllis

.

It blooms from November to January and is therefore also very popular as a Christmas decoration.

The warmer its location, the faster it blooms.

The onion plant stores water and therefore

only

needs to be watered

every ten days

.

Unless the amaryllis bulb has been sealed with wax - in which case you don't even need to water the plant - it can bloom again next year.

At the end of spring, you should put the amaryllis in a dark room such as a basement.

In October you can then cultivate the onion again in new soil in a bright spot.

How do hyacinths bloom again?

At Christmas, hyacinths bloom and give off their scent.

For care, you can

follow the instructions for the amaryllis

, because the hyacinth is also a bulbous plant.

With the right care, hyacinths can even live to be more than ten years old.

: This is why you should fertilize your plants with hair from the hairbrush.

Since poinsettias and Christmas roses as well as hyacinths, amaryllis and Christmas

cacti

are

poisonous

, you should place these Christmas plants

in a place inaccessible to pets and small children
