Mexico City Launches 2025 Poinsettia Season With Five-Year High of 1.8 Million Plants

Sedema is steering buyers to producers to turn Altépetl-backed output into grower income, reinforcing conservation goals.

Overview

  • A total of 216 growers in Xochimilco and Tláhuac produced the 2025 crop, including nuclei such as San Luis Tlaxialtemalco, San Gregorio Atlapulco, Santiago Tepalcatlalpan, San Juan Ixtayopan and Santiago Tulyehualco.
  • Plants are being sold directly across the city at avenues, public squares and specialty markets including Madreselva, Palacio de la Flor, Mercado de Flores Cuemanco, Acuexcomatl, Campo 7 and Cuemanquito.
  • Most sales points operate daily with hours around 8:00–20:00, and Sedema has published an interactive map with routes and addresses to guide buyers.
  • This season’s offerings span classic red as well as white, pink, cream-gold and mottled varieties cultivated with ornamental techniques promoted by Altépetl Bienestar.
  • Officials emphasize that the campaign supports rural economies in conservation zones and sustains local traditions tied to the native cuetlaxóchitl.
