How-To Manuals

How-To Manuals (25%)

This section will include how-to factsheets of important practices and key events in poinsettias production. Each entry should be between 300 and 500 words and could be used as a reference for your (future) assistant grower to use as a guide to complete the task. Be sure to consider and include any safety procedures if they are required in the task.

Seven (7) how-to manuals are required:

  1. Receive poinsettia plugs.
  2. Pot poinsettia plugs.
  3. Pinch poinsettias.
  4. Mix fertilizer.
  5. Water and/or fertilize poinsettias.
  6. Measure poinsettia heights.
  7. Package poinsettias for sale.

*We will be learning and practicing these tasks in our face to face classes together. The how-to manuals can be completed as we learn each practice throughout the course.
