WREATHS

Give your guests a warm welcome to your home with a beautiful holiday wreath. At Sabellico's, we make wreaths the old-fashioned way. Our Christmas elves make and design our wreaths from the freshest greens available. We can make almost any size from small 8-inch to large 60-inch wreaths. We can even make Candy Cane, Christmas Tree and Heart shaped wreaths. Our talented designers decorate many of our ready-for-sale wreaths. From the simple to the elegant, no two are alike, unless you want them that way. But you don't have to choose one of our pre-decorated wreaths. Our Christmas elves will design a wreath that is decorated just the way you want it. Since we make our wreaths here at Sabellico's, you could choose a wreath of beautiful mixed greens instead of traditional balsam. Add your own special keepsake ornaments. Match the colors and bow to your décor or theme. We can also decorate our fresh pine roping to match. Tip: Once cut, the greens in fresh roping and wreaths tend to dry out. Try spraying with an anti-desiccant like WiltPruf that forms a clear, protective coating on the leaves, needles and stems. This will help prevent wreaths, roping and live Christmas trees from drying out, turning brown and losing needles too quickly.

Sabellico's Poinsettia Care

At the Store: If you buy your poinsettia at a retail store that does not specialize in plants, the store may not have provided the proper care for the plant. Remember when purchasing your poinsettia to choose one that is not wilted and appears to be well cared for. Avoid plants with foliage that is beginning to yellow. The actual flowers of the poinsettia plant are the golden yellow clusters (cyathias) in the center of the colored bracts. The colored bracts are actually the plant's leaves that have changed color to attract insects and are not the flower petals. As you choose your poinsettia, make sure that the plant you choose still has the cyathias. Poinsettias are a tropical plant and are not hardy in this area. When you leave the store with your poinsettia, remember that the plant needs protection from the weather especially if the weather is freezing. The store should provide some sort of protection like a plastic sleeve or paper bag. Your poinsettia should not be exposed (even in its protective wrapping) to the freezing conditions for more than a short trip to the car. Do not leave your poinsettia in your car while you finish shopping. If the poinsettia is chilled it may begin to drop its leaves. Immediately unwrap you poinsettia when you arrive at your destination. It is unhealthy for poinsettias to be left in the plastic or paper sleeve for too long. It could cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop before the holiday season is over. At Home: Locate your plant in a sunny spot with bright natural light but not exposed to direct sunlight for more than one to two hours. If in a very sunny location, make sure the plant never dries out. Do not place your plant in an area that is exposed to drafts, heat from appliances, radiators or ventilation ducts. Despite the old wives tale, poinsettias are not poisonous. While its safety has been proven, the poinsettia, like many other ornamental plants, is not meant for human consumption and should be kept away from small children and animals. Soil should be kept moist. Do not let the soil dry out. Empty any water that drains into the container under your plant; if you let the plant sit in this water, the leaves will yellow and drop. The color of your poinsettia will last longer with temperatures not over 75ºF during the day and 60º to 65º at night. How to Reflower Your Poinsettia: If you are an enthusiastic gardener, you may want to try to reflower your poinsettia for next year's holiday season. Just remember though, this process requires a lot of dedication and effort and people are sometimes disappointed by the results. It is very difficult for the home gardener to provide the professional greenhouse environment that provides controlled lighting, controlled temperatures and professional growers. This environment will most likely produce larger, fuller plants than you can produce at home. First Step - Care: Follow the preceding tips on poinsettia care. Do not ever let the soil dry out on your poinsettia. February - Light: Your poinsettia may begin to fade in color. Keep your plant near a sunny window. April - Trimming: During the middle of April, cut the stems back to approximately 6 inches above the soil. May - Fertilizing: Start fertilizing with a balanced (20/20/20 or 20/10/20 content of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus) fertilizer at one teaspoon per gallon every third watering. June - Repotting Time: Remove the plant and check to see if the plant needs to be repotted. It will need repotting if you see an abundance of roots or roots that are circling the pot. Use a commercial potting soil and a slightly larger pot. The pot may be placed outside in light shade when the temperature does not fall below 55º. Fertilize with one teaspoon of fertilizer per gallon of water every second time you water. Middle of August - Inside Care: The plant should be kept inside in direct sunlight. Cut the stems back again, this time leave three to four leaves per shoot. Continue to water and fertilize. Middle of September to the First of December: The plant should stay in the direct sunlight (next to a window) until 5:00 pm. From 5:00pm to 8:00am the plant should be placed in complete darkness. A closet or room that is not used after the sun goes down are an option. If you follow these directions, your poinsettia should be ready to bloom again by the holidays.
