Sixty-five to eighty-five (65-85) days is the time that poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) tend to need to bloom.

Specifically, flowering is jump-started once the plant undergoes 12 hours 20 minutes of uninterrupted darkness for five (5) straight days. The plant needs night temperatures to hover around 60 degrees F/15.56 degrees C. Lower night temperatures will delay the flowering process and become life-threatening.

Day temperatures need to fall within the range of 65-80 degrees F/18.33-26.67 degrees C. The flowering process will be speeded up at the upper limits of the temperature range. In fact, at 80 degrees F/26.67 degrees C, flowering may be completed in 65 days.
