Poinsettia origin
Actually originating from Mexico, the Advent Star belongs to the tropical plants. There, the Euphorbia pulcherrima grows happily in the landscape in front of itself and can grow up to five meters high. Which could possibly irritate one or the other, because we know the Advent Star rather as a smaller plant.
Joel Roberts Poinsett, was the person who introduced the poinsettia to the United States in the 1900 century, where it then became known as the Christmas plant. This is because with its green leaves and red bracts, it combines the two most popular Christmas colors. Because of this transfer, the poinsettia later received the name Poinsettia.
In the 1950s, the poinsettia became known and eventually celebrated in this country as a houseplant associated with Christmas. Even though it is only available seasonally, it is one of the most popular houseplants in Germany.
