Description
Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, typically reaching a height of 0.6 - 4 meters. The plant bears dark green dentate leaves that measure 7 - 16 cm in length. The colored bracts - which are most often flaming red but can be orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled - are often mistaken for flower petals because of their groupings and colors, but are actually leaves. The colors of the bracts are created through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at a time for at least five days in a row) to change color. At the same time, the plants require abundant light during the day for the brightest color
