Give the gift of green

Are you not sure what to get someone this holiday season?  You can't go wrong giving a live plant.
 
Here are the three of the popular options and tips on how to care for them:
 

Christmas Cactus comes in a variety of colors.  It is easy to care for but be sure to let the soil dry out before watering it.  This can remain a house plant until spring and then it can be placed in a container starting in May.

Rosemary "Christmas" tree - This tree can actually be replanted once the holidays are over.  Be sure to remove the wrapping and allow the water to drain to avoid rotting.  Again, be careful not to overwater.

Poinsettia - Keep them away from places that experience wide varience in  temperatures.  Place them by a window but make sure it isn't touching a cold window.  Water when the soil is dry to the touch and water until it starts to drain through.
