The Secret to Using Cut Poinsettias
The secret to using poinsettias in arrangements is to sear the cut stems with a candle flame, which will help keep your flowers fresh. Poinsettias excrete a milky sap when the leaves or stems are broken, and you need to stop the flow of that sap to prevent drooping flowers. The sap isn’t poisonous, but it can irritate your skin, so you might want to wear gloves while making your arrangement.
