It is not really an easy task! But don't worry, we will help you solve this problem. It only takes you 30 minutes to create a Christmas centerpiece with Poinsettia. You just need to have a few mini plants on hand. This decoration can be easily personalized with any of your favorite embellishments. So the rest is up to you. However, we present you the list with the materials necessary to recreate the centerpiece shown in the photo below.

Planter or other container
Potting soil
Poinsettia
Fresh green plants - branches of pine, cedar, cedar or other
Clippers
Small pebbles
Pieces of wood or other natural additions - pine cones, chestnuts, walnuts, etc.
Christmas ornaments - Christmas balls, twigs covered with fake snow. You can also tie a knot with a ribbon, add wooden slices, cinnamon sticks, string balls, etc.

Step-by-step instructions for a fascinating decor

1. Add a layer of fine soil to the bottom of your container. This layer may vary depending on the depth of your container.

2. Remove the plastic pot from the Poinsettia and place it in the middle of your container. Fill in the soil around the flower.

3. Place 2 or 3 pieces of wood around the pot. You can also make driftwood to give the decor a more elegant air. Play around with the positioning of the sticks until you get the look you like. They are not an indispensable part of this composition, but they add a bit of texture and structure to it.

4. Cut the greenery and place it in the pot around the flower. Play with the angle with which you insert the greenery until it is well placed. Start with the larger pieces, then fill in the empty spaces with the smaller branches. You really can't go wrong. Just arrange your festive arrangement well until you like the look!

5. Place pebbles in areas where soil is still visible. Larger pebbles can also be used to give the greenery a bit of relief.

6. Now is the time to add the small decorations. You can leave the DIY centerpiece more natural by using neutral colors or give it a touch of color with shiny elements in pop color. Don't forget to pair it with the rest of your Christmas decoration. Always follow the same range of shades. At the end, you can complete the ornament with a large ribbon.

7. Perhaps, you already know that Poinsettia maintenance is not always easy. So, to keep it fresh, spray it with a water spray every two or three days.

This centerpiece is easily transportable. So you can always move it to different places in your home.
