Poinsettia

{Euphorbia pulcherrima}

Boron deficiency in poinsettia

The buds, particularly those near the tip, stop growing in boron deficient poinsettia. The young terminal leaves are thick and tend to roll. The midrib on the under side of the leaf may crack and the bracts, which develop slowly, are abnormal.
