I want to show you my Poinsettia. Sue D. wrote, she has killed two this year. I am so happy to say, mine is 3 years old and starts again with blooming. She grows in a wintergarden with much light.
Outside we have frost but inside the plants are still blooming.
Second Pic shows my many years old Geranias

Wonderful - I'm so jealous!

thank you, if your plant had wet air and dry feed, means no water under the pot, she will grow and bloom a long time.

That is a beautiful plant. I find pelargoniums/geraniums easy to keep going for years, but my poinsettias always loose their lower leaves and look horrible the second year. Yours is a thing of beauty, well done!!

Oh, wundervoll! Du hast den "Grünen Daumen" und das Glück,
einen großen, beheizten Wintergarten zu besitzen? Bin natürlich
total neidisch, aber trotzdem vielen Dank, daß Du uns die Bilder
teilst.....Stickst und nähst Du auch in Deinem Wintergarten? Ich
würde wahrscheinlich komplett meine Zeit darin verbringen...
schöne Weihnachtszeit wünscht Dir Maria

Der Wintergarten ist eher klein, 11m², und geheizt wird er zwar, aber in der Regel auf Temperaturen, die den Pflanzen gut bekommen. Die Luftfeuchte ist im Winter der Pflanzen wegen 70 - 80%, das ürde mir mein Maschinchen sicher übelnehmen. Aber von der großen Küche und dem Wohnzimmer kann ich durch riesige Glastüren immer den Blick in den Wintergarten genießen, auch wenn ich nicht direkt darin sitze.
Dir auch ein schönes Weihnachtsfest.
Dir auch ein schönes Weihnachtsfest.

Absolutely beautiful! My mom brought me a Poinsettia at Thanksgiving. Haven't had any success in the past keeping them alive all year. What are the tall pink flowers in the photograph? I really like them!
1 comment
The pink flowers are pelargoniums/geraniums but a special type, which crows very quickly. Every year I cut 30 - 40 cm in the spring and after staying in the wintergarden they grow until the roof.

I have never seen either so lush and big. You have the perfect place as well as a green thumb! I just rescued another 2 African violets from the local building supply store, neglected, plastic bagged with rubberbands around the leaves. Poor babies. I have a lovely pink flowering rescue one ,and I know at least one of these is purple. I could not leave them there.

Beautiful !! I used to cut mine down in the summer and put it outside in a pot. It would grow again more lush each year. I had it for years. I finally gave it away.

Your poinsettia is beautiful. So are your geranias . Do you feed them any special kind of plant food? Also how often do you water them. Do they need to be kept moist or dry.? You certainly have a green thumb!

The poinsettia likes no dry air and no wet feet. I water befor the earth will be dry and use a food with 6% phosphat in it. This year the flowers of the poinsettia are gone in september and the new one are starting in november.

Du hast wirklich einen gruenen Daumen. Im Garden habe ich viel Glueck aber im Haus weniger. Pointsettas und Orchideen gehen bei mir immer kaputt. Deine Pflanzen sehen fantastisch aus. Gut gepflegt und geliebt
1 comment
Danke Dir, Orchideen tauche ich einmal die Woche in lauwarmes Wasser und lasse sie dann gut ablaufen, die Übertöpfe müssen unten so schmal sein, dass der Topf nicht ins Wasser hängt, Orchideen und auch die Poinsettia vertragen keine Staunässe.

This is truly a breathe of springtime. I'm not good with plants, so I'll merely gaze at yours and hope I don't ruin them for you.

Thank you, I will care the plants, you can´t ruin them.
