Holly is actually a shade shrub. Cut holly lasts longer indoors if treated like cut flowers, placed in cool water, and kept away from excessive heat.
Ivy is a very popular houseplant, since it's relatively easy to grow. It takes low water, either direct or indirect sun and even thrives in the shade.
Mistletoe is actually a parasite that feeds off trees and shrubs. Plants bloom in the summer and produce white berries during the winter. Mistletoe is often hung upside down and dried during the holidays. The berries are poisonous; so keep the sprigs out of the reach of children. Many commercial firms now market mistletoe with artificial berries for safety.A poinsettia can last for weeks beyond the holidays when placed in indirect sunlight at least six hours a day. Keep it away from cold drafts and excessive heat. Water when it feels dry, and after the blooming season use an all-purpose fertilizer once a month. Poinsettias are also helpful in removing pollutants from indoor air.
