Poinsettia and Princettia
The Poinsettia (Euphorbia Pulcherrima) is part of the family Euphorbiaceae and is primarily purchased for Christmas. The generic designation ‘pulcherrima’ means ‘beautiful.’
We grow plants with bright red, pink or white bracts, which are situated around the flower buds in a star shape. The actual flowers are small and have a yellow color. The bracts attract insects.
The juice of the Poinsettia is mentioned to be toxic and could cause red spots on the skin and symptoms of poisoning and digestive problems when swallowed. This is doubted nowadays. In experimental research toxicity is not revealed.
The Poinsettias are available in 13 cm and 17 cm pot.

Princettia
The Princettia originates from the moist, tropical rainforests of Middle- and South America and are part of the extensive Euphorbia family. The trio variant contains 3 plants in a fresh color combination of white, red and shades of pink which makes the Princettia a real ‘princess’ in your interior.
The Princettia with its champagne colored sardine pot fits within each trend: classic, modern, retro, glamor or trendy! Her striking bracts are situated around the small green flower buds in a ‘royal’ rosette. This provides a completely different look compared to the Poinsettia.
This Princettia is available in a 20 cm pot containing 3 plants.
