Re: First Aid for my Poinsettia
Kath don't feel bad about it, I am sure Pointsettias come with a built in obsolescence, also they are raised in controlled conditions that we mere mortals can't hope to compete with .Re: First Aid for my Poinsettia
Thanks Meg, was getting paranoid their for a minute.Re: First Aid for my Poinsettia
I love Pointsettias at Christmastime, Kath ........ mine are usually still going strong in April! I am very reluctant to discard them but somehow they don't have the same appeal months after the Big Day.Re: First Aid for my Poinsettia
It appears that poinsettias need very little watering and when you do water them don't put it directly into the pot with luke warm water.Re: First Aid for my Poinsettia
I had a poinsettia at my last house that I had for 4 years. It just didnt die off so I kept it. It never grew its red leaves back, stayed green but it grew really big and bushy and was lovely, it actually died when we had that really bad cold spell in the end. I did read up how to get the red leaves back but it involved covering up the leaves for 12 hours a day with black bags, too much effort but it was lovely and I was sad when it died.Re: First Aid for my Poinsettia
