Q.PLANTING POINSETTAS
I AM WONDERING IF I CAN PLANT MY POINSETTA PLANT IN SAND… I HAVE FILLED IN SWIMMING POOL AND I DIG A LARGE HOLE THEN PUT IN REGULAR POTTING SOIL AND COVER THE PLANT WITH SOIL THEN SAND.
WILL THIS WORK FOR POINSETTAS ?
THANK YOU,

It is better to mix the soil with the sand before planting the poinsettias, rather than having layers of soil and pure sand. However, sand is a beneficial component to mix into soil for poinsettias, since they prefer well-drained soil. Here is more information:
