A garden centre has announced its free Grow How session that will be taking place in its Dunfermline branch.

Dobbies will be running the event this December to give customers the chance to learn how to look after their Poinsettias throughout the festive season.

Poinsettias are well known for their red and green foliage and the plant is often used in Christmas floral decorations.

Dobbies’ gardening experts in Dunfermline will showcase different varieties of Poinsettias and explain how to select the right one for your home. From Cinnamon, Marble, Christmas Beauty and Sky Star, guests can explore a diverse array of options, including the iconic rich red Poinsettia, to find the perfect houseplant.

Claire Bishop, Dobbies’ senior houseplant buyer, said: “Poinsettias are a great way to adorn your home with bright pops of colour this Christmas. We all know and love the classic red, but we are excited to shine some light on the other varieties of Poinsettias during our Grow How session in Dunfermline that will bring vibrancy to your decorations this Christmas.

“This beloved houseplant is a staple for the festive period, however, can be tricky to care for. Placing your Poinsettia in a bright spot away from any drafts will help your plant thrive. I’d recommend only watering when the soil feels noticeably dry to the touch and your plant will benefit from monthly feedings into the new year.”

The event takes place this Saturday, December 2.
