I have kept a small poinsettia in the house from last Christmas. It is
healthy but all the leaves are now green - I lost all the red flower leaves.
Does anyone know how to get the plant to create new red leaves (or flowers?)
for this Christmas?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.


The red leaf colouring is stimulated by hours of darkness. I can't
remember the details. But try keeping it completely drk for 12 hours
each day from now on.
