A timespan of 65-85 days is needed for poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) to flower into a plant capable of reproduction.

Specifically, the flower is needed to provide nectar for attracting such natural pollinators as bees, birds and bugs. It also is needed to provide male and female flowers on each plant so that every single poinsettia is capable of self-pollinating and producing seed. With the flowering and the pollination accomplished, the seed is produced and one of the two ways by which poinsettias may be reproduced - by seed or by vegetative cuttings - is accomplished.
