Christmas Plant | Christmas Indoor PlantsThe most popular Christmas plant is the poinsettia with its scarlet upper leaves and tiny yellow flowers. The lower leaves are dark green. The poinsettia plant is of Mexican origin and was named after J.R. Poinsett, an American ambassador to Mexico in the early part of the nineteenth century. Since the poinsettia is a sub-tropical plant, the poinsettia is suitable only as an indoor plant in the UK.

The Christmas cactus originates from mountainous areas of South American but unlike most cacti, it doesn't grow in deserts regions. The cyclamen originates from areas around the mediterranean and like the Christmas cactus, it comes in several beautiful colors including pink and violet.

The leaves of many plants die back in the winter but the leaves of holly, ivy and mistletoe remain green making them ideal for brightening the home in winter.
Christmas mistletoe ... The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is of Scandinavian origin. For those that stand underneath it, it is a symbol of love. With every kiss a berry is picked and presented to the girl as a sign of good fortune. |
