The Poinsettias arrived in Sainsbury's this morning .......does anyone buy them this early?

Re: xmas lights

I'm spoiled, always get one from Carolyn, but I do think this is way too early! They tend to drop their leaves in the dry indoor air and would look pretty ratty by Christmas.

Re: xmas lights

That's what I was thinking too, Eileen ....... it doesn't seem the same if you have one too early, does it?

Re: xmas lights

Have you ever tried to save yours and get it to rebloom the next year? It's a hassle, you have to keep it in complete darkness for a period of time, not even a bit of light from a sreetlight. I tried it one year, put it in the closet every night and it did rebloom but the bracts were fewer and smaller. Not worth the bother; I just chuck mine now after the holiday.

Re: xmas lights

I have kept mine but it has stayed green even though it had a period of darkness
