Well done, mine always died lol..................I'm no house plant gardener. -
One of my poinsettias from last year made it through the Summer. It is still out in the poly tunnel, so I am hoping last night's frost here did not bump it off. I'll go and get it a bit later and see how it looks. Nowhere near as good as yours is my guess :-)Last edited by nickdub; 04-11-2020, 03:12 PM.Comment

My mum has had a couple of Poinsettias for at least 8 years. They live in a cool bedroom in an East facing window. No idea how she keeps them so healthy.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs! https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...lies/smile.gif

Mine always die, too, but my uncle has one he has kept alive for 3 years now. It's never flowered again, but it has plenty of healthy green leaves.Comment

No tips really. It has sat there in the window (north facing) since last Christmas, mostly ignored, watered when I thought about it but left fairly dry all the time.
The way to get it to flower is to give it a proper nights sleep every day from the end of September onwards. It likes a full 10 - 12 hours of darkness.
