The History and Symbolism of the Poinsettia Plant

The Poinsettia plant has a rich history that dates back to ancient civilizations. It is native to Mexico and was originally known as "Cuetlaxochitl" by the Aztecs. The plant was highly revered for its vibrant red color and was believed to represent purity.

In the 1820s, Joel Poinsett, the first United States Ambassador to Mexico, was fascinated by the plant and brought it back to his home in South Carolina. He propagated the plant in his greenhouse and shared it with friends and botanical gardens, popularizing the Poinsettia plant in the United States.
