Dear all, It is that time of year where planted poinsettias appear. These plants left over from a holiday party have been placed in our staff offices where we have a selection of works from the collection on display (no guidelines in place, but I am working on that). I of course asked for them to be removed and was met with the reply that if the poinsettias are "greenhouse grown" then they are likely not a pest threat and can stay on display. I have never heard of this before, and also would assume it is the soil that is the attractant for pests, greenhouse grown or not. Any advice or guidance? I have not found many resources on this specific issue.
