Thank you!

Very well explained. Thank You . I got my plant to re-flower this spring after 2 years. Did not repot for fear of shocking them nor did I add any new soil. Kept it indoors but in bright light. In winter I move them around to a sunny window sill. 15 hours of darkness starting October really helped in promoting the new flowers this spring. Hope this info helps all the pointsettia lovers. A little patience goes a long way.

If you’re keeping poinsettia for the season only, it is not necessary to give them 16 hrs of darkness. In fact the need normal bright sunlight daily and out of drafty areas.

Mine for the first time in 3 years has dropped almost all of its leaves im afraid and not sure if I should try to cut it back or not. It’s always dropped leaves but never dropped almost all of them completely off and I just re potted it last month. Any suggestions please

[@growercoach]

Cutting it back won't help the situation. It has likely developed a root disease. If you could take a photo of the plant and email it to [e-mail] I will have a look and may have some further suggestions.

I feel like you really over complicated this! I keep mind in the kitchen in the window ledge. Guess that works because it gets light & the kitchen is warm. Water it about every 3-4 weeks it turned into a pretty green plant, come November they started turning red hey presto!!
