This is the third quiz in the Education Quizzes series on houseplants and it concentrates on seasonal and festive plants. More often than not these are flowering plants that are given as presents at Christmas and other celebratory occassions.
It is usually difficult to persuade a plant to flower for a second time in the home and therefore the emphasis is to keep it in flower for as long as possible before discarding it. Many gardeners will tell you that it is possible to keep a poinsettia in a house and bring it into flower again the next Christmas but I have yet to talk to anyone who has actually done it!
