Make A Poinsettia Tree!

If you ever have the opportunity, try decorating your house with a poinsettia tree!

All you need is a tree rack (pictured to the lower right) which come in several different sizes. Racks come as short as 3 feet and go up to well over 10 feet as shown here.

Making a smaller poinsettia tree can be just as breathtaking as a larger one, and if you put it on a table to give it a little extra height, or use it as a centerpiece, it can be the highlight of your house or party.

They are fast and easy to make and they are easy to care for. The major expense is the poinsettias themselves, but if you have a junior college or college in your area with a horticulture program, they likely have a poinsettia project. Because the students are growing the plants for experience, they usually charge less per plant than garden centers or grocery stores.

If you don't have a college nearby, then it could be a pricey decoration and you will have to make the determination if it is something you want to afford.

Whatever you end up doing, you can't deny poinsettia trees are absolutely gorgeous!
