I have got one of those Poinsettia (sorry if thats not the correct spelling) plants?

and water it over night one a week, however, I am going on holiday soon, so won't be able to water it, will it be ok to water it the night before we leave, then water it the day we get back?, that means it won't get watered for 10 days

Leave it in a saucer or small bowl of water to about half way up the pot. The plant will draw up all the water it needs
Reply:hi


stand it in somthing then put water in the tub or whatever you put it in
Reply:Why not pop the plant in a sink of water
Reply:If its possible... submerge the whole pot in sink or tub for a good hour before you leave. let drain then place back in its place. that should do it.I have a 2yr and !yr old plants that are just beautiful
Reply:I wouldn't leave it in water, if it goes 7 days it should go 10 without a problem.
Reply:could try a tray filled with small pebbles,and put water in that until it just covers the pebbles.Water the poinsettia well just before you leave,and stand it on this tray.If its not in a warm room (which might dry it out quicker) then it should be okay.
Reply:this would be difficult as poinsettia's prefer warm water which should be given from the bottom can u giv it 2 a m8 or ur parents to look after but it should survive it might wilt a bit but wiv some TLC it should revive
Reply:water it thouroghly before you leave, and then put a bowl under the pot. you rwatering will last at best 8-9 days, the bowl underneath will make sure it is not too dry when you come back. just remember dump water on it when you come back
Reply:i grow poinsettias in Florida.i put them in the shade during dormant period and have had no problem with not watering frequently.going on holiday for 10 days should be OK.soak container before you leave and they should be fine.
Reply:Water it the minute you get back and it should be fine
