Default When can I plant a Poinsettia?

You let the cutting dry out / heal on the cut end then plant it in a pot as
I recall. Put it into a pot of potting mix & don't over water. Be sure the
pot drains freely.
Leave it in the garden or where you like while in the pot.

'Poinsettia' (http://tinyurl.com/iy9q)

Hello Forum.

Just so there's no confusion the above link is a photo and I'm in
Brisbane Aus.

I was wondering if someone could help me with the basics of planting
poinsettias, I already have one in my front yard and wanted to plant 2
more.

My questions are....

1...when is the best time to plant them?
2...what is the best method?, do I make a cutting?
3..if I use a cutting, do I place it in water and allow roots to grow?,
do I need to add any soil to the water?

Thanks for any help.

Kabana.
