CARE FOR YOUR POINSETTIA
If your poinsettia has made it to now and is still looking good, with a little care you can keep it for this winter. Even if most of the leaves have dropped and there are just a few red bracts left, it’s worth saving. Prune back shoots by about three quarters, back to a bud or leaf scar, rather like pruning a rose. Take care not to get the sap into cut skin or your eyes. Once the sap has dried you can safely take it out of the pot and repot in a slightly larger container.
