I guess from your description you are talking about one of the Euphorbia
pulcherrima hybrids with their coloured bracts usually red or white against
very dark green leaves. Are you? If so all the plant needs is roomtemps.
The coloured bracts are often brought out to order by placing a black
plastic bin bag over the plant about 6 weeks before the beautiful bracts are
wanted. Feed and water regularly during growth and colour. After flowering
allow to dry off and rest. Resume water and feed when new growth restarts.

I have just gotten a beautiful Poinsetta. I want it to survive the
Christmas season. Has anyone managed to keep one going and how did you do
this? I believe they are more of a succulent? I think someone said they
were a type of Euphorbia?
