  3. After the selection….. • Remove all dead leaves or debris from the top of the pot • If soil is moist, do not water- if dry, water it lightly • Allow customer to select foil, bow, and ribbon colors • Suggest something if they don’t know what colors look best together.

  5. Carefully, Cut the foil…. • You need 13 inches • Be sure to measure it • Cut it on the INSIDE • Fold 1/4 of the all edge areas to the inside. • If you rip the foil or put a hole in it, get another one.

  6. Place the poinsettia on the foil • Make sure the pot is in the center of the foil • Carefully pull up one corner and DO NOT TUCK IT. • Tuck the foil between the corners. • Fold it gently over the edge of the pot.

  7. Foil the edges... • Bring the foil up on all sides of the plant • BE VERY CAREFUL • Crease and turn, crease and turn • Lift the leaves, do not smash them against the pot. • Be PATIENT
