Overwintered Poinsettia
Posted: Thu Feb 29, 2024 3:39 am
Hi folks. Am I on the right track with this poinsettia? I tried overwintering one a few years ago, and it seemed successful until I did something dumb and killed it just as the new leaves were growing. I don't remember what the dumb thing was - I think I took it outside on a nice warm day but forgot about it and froze it to death.
Anyway, I've read the article here and watched a few YouTubes, and the advice seems to vary about when to do what. I'll assume I'm okay to prune it down to the sticks once the last leaves fall off, probably in a few weeks. Then leave it alone until the weather is nice, repot, eventually take it outside.
