California Christmas
Poinsettias Video shows a greenhouse filled with lovely holiday
plants slated for distribution to California stores.
If you think that growing
the perfect poinsettia is just a matter of luck, you may want to
think twice after viewing California Christmas poinsettia video.
Poinsettias are easy to care for and the beautiful, red
poinsettia is a perennial favorite plant to give as a gift, or
to purchase for your home decor during the Christmas holiday
season. But it isn't just luck and nutrients that make the plant
so perfect. It is pure science. Each poinsettia must be the
perfect red, the perfect height and be in premium health.
In the video above,
Beachcalifornia.com staff visited a Central Coast California
greenhouse facility of Rocket Farms where poinsettias are grown
seasonally for distribution to a large discount store.
Salinas and Nipomo are two locations where the lovely plants
with leaves that turn red are cultivated and prepared for the
holiday season. The Central Coast is conducive to the red plant
variety, while Salinas Valley growers raise poinsettias of many
colors.
The most publicized
poinsettia growers (Ecke) grow approx. 80 percent of the holiday
plants in Encinitas, California near San Diego, but
poinsettias are actually grown in all 50 states. This native
Mexico plant was imported into the U.S. and named after an
ambassador to Mexico whose last name was Poinsett. To purchase
the beautiful poinsettias show, you can shop at Costco and buy
the large potted plants.
