Poinsettia preview - getting the crop out of the blocks quickly and smoothly!

摘要

By the time you are reading this article, all of the early season poinsettias will have been planted. It seems hard to believe! Time sure flies by when we are busy and having fun! Pricing aside, the poinsettia over the past few years is the crop aboutwhich more growers complain or possibly hate than any other. While a well-grown poinsettia crop at shipping is a beautiful site to behold, a poorly grown crop can be downright ugly. I might be stating it too bluntly, but there have been many poorly grown crops in the past few years and there really is no excuse for lousy quality. We wonder why the market is soft. Yes, overproduction is a factor, but don't discount poor quality at the retail level or poor performance in the homes of consumers as being major factors.
