The Colombian Association of Nurseries and Ornamental Growers, Colviveros, reported that Colombian producers have begun the process of planting poinsettias after having worked with the mother plants for the first part of this year.
Hernando Lopez and Nohora Espejo, Poinsettias de Colombia.
Poinsettias are well known as the Christmas plant for their striking red leaves. In Colombia, these plants flourish mainly in the San Antonio del Tequendama, La Mesa, and Fusagasugá, areas located in the Department of Cundinamarca that stand out for their unparalleled production conditions. Colviveros estimates that this region produces more than half a million poinsettias to meet the increasing domestic demand during the season that covers mainly the months of November and December.
The new ornamental trade association in Colombia will initiate a promotional campaign of poinsettias in the main population centers oriented to stimulate a bigger consumption of the Christmas plant by the end consumers.
