7 Simple Steps to Care for Your Holiday Poinsettia

2010-12-10T10:32:00.000-05:00

The holidays are here, and you will likely be giving and/or receiving a beautiful poinsettia soon. Here are some easy steps to make your gorgeous plants last a long time.

1. Poinsettias are very fragile! Upon receipt, carefully remove any packaging by cutting it off.

2. If there are any broken branches, remove them.
3. Add water if the plant feels dry. Water until the soil feels moist.

4. Keep your plant in bright, indirect sunlight during the day. At night, be sure that it is in complete darkness.

5. Do not allow the plant to completely dry out, also keeping in mind to not over water it.

6. Keep the plant away from drafts and excessive heat.
7. Enjoy your plant for the season!

After the holidays, fertilize the plant if necessary, cut the branches back in May, pinch by mid-August, and keep it in total darkness at night after October 1.

Follow these simple steps, and you will have a plant that you can enjoy over and over again!

The Origins of Father's Day

2010-06-14T14:56:00.003-04:00

Do you know how Father's Day got started? Here's a short history on the holiday, and meaning of the different colors of roses used on that Day.

The first showing of a child's love for their father was about 4,000 years ago, when a young boy named Elmusu wished his Babylonian father good health and a long life by carving a Father's Day message on a card made out of clay. No one knows what happened to Elmesu or his father, but the tradition of having a special day honoring fathers has continued through the years in countries across the world.

Father's Day is celebrated popularly on 3rd Sunday in June in many parts of the world. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices in her family. The first Father's Day celebration was in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. So Father's Day was born as a token of love and gratitude that a daughter cherishes for her beloved father.

Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red for a living father and white if the father has died.

So this Father's Day say "thanks" for everything your father's done for you with red roses.
