INow Is t he Time
j For Poinsettias
| Now is the time to put the poinseltia in the dark.
« Home gardeners who would like their poinsettia to l flower for the holiday season need to keep it in the dark for | 14 hours a night from the beginning of October, said Paul f L. Smeal, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in nursery j production. • "Even very short periods of lighting at night may be i enough to prevent or interfere with flowering." he said. / If the plant is to be grown in a room that is lighted | nightly, cover the plant at dusk with a heavy paper bag, a j piece of opaque black cloth, or other light-tight cover or s put it in a dark closet or room. { Remove the covering from the plant, or put the plant in { a lighted room, at about 8 a.m. and give it maximum light / during the day.
