a table with a white table cloth and a silver vase filled with red flowers

Poinsettias make a beautiful floral centrepiece for a Christmas table. In this opulent design in red, gold and bronze tones, they play the starring role with their shimmering colour contrasts. As potted plants in a stylish goblet bowl in the centre of the table, and as cut flowers in homemade apple flower holders at each place, poinsettias make this festive table gleam. Tip: Immediately after cutting, dip the poinsettia stems in hot water (about 60°C) for a few seconds and then in cold water. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks in clean water.
