I've had mine for 4 yrs. I put it outside in the summer and bring it back in,
in the fall. But I've never had to put it into the closet or anything to get
it to turn red again. Maybe it's a better variety.
cheers,
Jim

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.
