Description: The new release pink Poinsettia for this year has been released for Mother's Day. Called 'Princettia' is has unusual pink coloured bracts (look like big petals) and comes in a range of 4 pink tones. Princettia is a compact growing poinsettia - a small shrub that grows and flowers well in an indoor position. They have strong stems and the flowers cover the entire plant. They flower for an extended period of time inside, up to six months throughout the colder months of the year.
Care: They need a light position, can withstand direct morning sunlight and require watering once a fortnight throughout autumn and winter. After flowering lightly prune the plant back by half, feed with liquid fertiliser and step up the watering to once a week throughout spring and summer. Prune lightly after every long flush of flower.
Breeding: These varieties were breed by Bonza Botanicals Pty Ltd, a joint venture company between Suntory Flowers, Japan, and Oasis Horticulture. These interspecific hybrids will be marketed under the brand ‘Princettia’, and were first released at the 2009 IPM Show, Essen, Germany, to critical acclaim.
