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. ![](https://blog.hummert.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Pre-finished-vs-Plug-1-300x251.png?width=500&height=419&name=Pre-finished-vs-Plug-1-300x251.png) ### **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.
