Poinsettias are indeed a challenging crop to grow well. Their crop time is relatively long compared...
The Future of Fundraising: Pre-Finished Poinsettia Plants
Pre-finished plants are the answer to minimizing crop loss and maximizing your organization or school’s annual fundraiser revenue.
Why pre-finished poinsettia plants?
Pre-finished poinsettias arrive to your location potted and well-established, treated with fungicide and ready for your TLC as opposed to the rigmarole associated with rooted cuttings. We know that teachers and facilitators have a limited amount of time as the school year commences, and pre-finished poinsettias are a great time-saver while also minimizing crop lass and maximizing fundraise revenue potential.
Pre-finished Poinsettia Program Benefits
- No need to arrange for receiving, potting, and maintaining for weeks prior to the beginning of the school year when rooted cuttings would normally be delivered.
- Potential crop problems that most commonly occur the first few weeks after planting and can have the greatest negative impact for the finished crop are eliminated.
- Plants will be well established, treated with a fungicide, and pinched for proper size finishing.
- Reduced inputs (fungicides, plant growth regulators).
- No need to purchase pots and soil.
- Just add fertilizer, monitor temperature, and watch/treat for insect pests.
- With no adjacent light pollution from streetlights or ball fields these will finish perfectly the week after Thanksgiving.
