Watering the poinsettia plants

The days are getting shorter now. And the nights are getting longer of course, which means that the 35 000 poinsettia plants (or the bracts on the plants) at Blomorado in Tungelsta slowly are turning red, white and pink.


Normally the automatic watering system at Blomorado takes care of the watering, but sometimes the gardener has to do it by hand which is a very slow process.

Spraying the poinsettia plants

Greenhouse number six at Blomorado is filling up with poinsettia plants. This evening all 28 000 plants will be planted. Only 120 days until they are ready. Here you see Danuta spraying some of the plants.
