How do you attract pollinators when poinsettias are reproduced asexually?

Answer 1

Doing the pollination yourself or setting the plant outside are two ways by which pollinators can be attracted for poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) reproduced asexually.

Specifically, poinsettias may be reproduced by seed or by vegetative cuttings. The latter is called asexual reproduction because it does not involve the plant's seeds. But regardless of the method of reproduction, poinsettias flower and include both female and male flower parts on every single plant. Pollination therefore may take place in any one of the following ways:

1. Naturally by the plant itself;

2. Naturally by such pollinators as bees, birds, and bugs flying from plant to plant in order to sample poinsettia nectar;

3. Artificially by poinsettia cultivators.
