Winter Bloomers for Your Home
When nature sleeps outside and the days are icy, it's time to transform your home into a warm and colourful sanctuary. Winter Plants like the majestic Amaryllis and the radiant Poinsettia are the perfect companions for the entire cold season. At FloraPrima, we have put together tasteful arrangements that offer you instant cosiness and long-lasting floral joy.
Amaryllis Arrangements: Majestic Blooms in the Deepest Winter
The Amaryllis (Hippeastrum), often called the Knight's Star, is a true wonder of nature. It defies the cold with its large, magnificent flowers in intense red, white, and pink tones. Our Amaryllis arrangements are more than just plants – they are impressive decorative highlights that bring the magic of winter into your four walls. They are excellent as an elegant gift that brings joy long after the holidays.
Your Tip: The Amaryllis loves the light. Place your pot in a bright spot (feel free to put it near a window). However, make sure to water only when the flower stalk has reached a height of about 10 cm. This encourages strong, stable growth.
Poinsettia Arrangements: Luminous Colour Accents for Long Winter Evenings
The Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) brings intense, vibrant colours to the dark time of the year. Its star-shaped bracts, ranging from brilliant red to delicate creamy white, are ideal for visually brightening your living space or office. Our lovingly designed arrangements fit perfectly into any winter ambiance and make a wonderful little gift.
Your Tip: The Poinsettia's greatest enemy is cold and draughts. Make sure your arrangement is always kept warm (ideal: 15–22 °C or 59–72 °F) and protected from cold air currents. Water it moderately only when the top layer of soil is dry. Waterlogging quickly leads to root rot and must be avoided.
Care Tips for Your Long-Lasting Winter Magic
To ensure you enjoy your winter bloomers for as long as possible, follow these simple rules:
-
Location: Bright, but away from direct heating air.
-
Watering: Moderately and always with room-temperature water. Avoid waterlogging!
-
Temperature: Prefer constant temperatures (Amaryllis: approx. 20 °C / 68 °F, Poinsettia: 15–22 °C / 59–72 °F).
Give yourself or your loved ones a piece of lasting happiness in the cold season with our winter plant arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions about Amaryllis and Poinsettia
How do I care for my Amaryllis to ensure it blooms for a long time?
Place it in a bright location and only water it once the flower stalk has visibly grown. Keep the soil slightly moist afterwards, but never soggy. Rotate the pot daily so the stem grows straight.
How long does a Poinsettia typically last?
With proper care (no cold, no draughts, no waterlogging), a Poinsettia can keep its luminous bracts for many weeks, often even into the spring.
What is the difference between Amaryllis and Knight's Star?
Amaryllis and Knight's Star are two names for the same plant (Hippeastrum) that we buy blooming in a pot or as a bulb in winter. The botanically correct name is Hippeastrum.
Can I repot my winter plants later in the year?
Yes. After the winter bloom is over and the plant has gone through a resting phase (especially important for the Amaryllis bulb), you can repot it into fresh soil to encourage growth for the next season.
