How can you make poinsettias last after Christmas?
Do you have to keep switching the pot from bright day rooms to darkened areas at night? Around the nurseries sell red, pink, white and even green ones. Seems to me, the red ones remain the most popular.
I read up on that once a long time ago. The attempt was to keep it going was not successful. The next year I bought a couple of very nice “silk” ones in a pot, and they have looked nice each year since.
Maybe someone else will have a better answer. LOL
Here’s a link from one of my favorite gardeners on Poinsetta care, including “After the Holidays”:

Andre has a garden show on Saturday mornings - it’s a Saturday tradition/habit (whatever) to get a cup of coffee, put on Andre Viette, and check out FR from 8-10. :-) I’ve visited his garden(s) a couple of times - ran into him once and had a chat .... nice man.
Just put the poinsettias in a larger pot of good soil and protect if from the cold. They can grow quite large.
