Neat I know just where I can put it. All my closets have louvers on the
top half of the door but I have an unused bedroom/junk room that doesn't
get much light al all. Should be no trouble to set it in there. How often
do you water it when it's living in the closet?

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?

Keep in a bright location out of the sun and let the soil dry out a bit
between waterings. Getting them to re-color next year is a pain in the
you
know what unless you can set up a room with lights on a timer. I like big
ones as foliage plants.

I've had mine for 4 yrs.It's the size of a small bush. It goes outside in
the
summer and I bring it in the first week of Oct. That is when I put it in a
closet for the 14hrs. of darkness per day that it needs to bloom again.
It's
starting to bloom already. This has worked every year. Mine is white.
