red or white pointset
FamilyNet Newsgate
Thanks for your response Rob, The two reds and one white poinsettias were from the same florist (but I don't know if they got them from different growers) and were largely keep in the house under my wife's care along with her other house plants. We will try them outside this coming summer and see if it helps. Ciao, Ack. ATHello! For what it is worth, wild poinsettias have red bracts (the things ATthat look like petals). All the other color variations have been bred. I ATdon't think that the color is what made the difference for survival. ATYou didn't say how you kept your Poinsettias from last year. The things that ATare apt to kill them are underwatering, overwatering (they like a bit of ATmoisture, but good drainage), and sudden environmental changes (they're ATtropical). They probably do better outdoors in the summer but you have to ATharden them off carefully or they go into shock (typically, they'll drop ATall their leaves quite suddenly). ATHave fun and enjoy them. ATRob ATTHURSTON ACKERMAN wrote: AT FamilyNet Newsgate AT AT We have had our first freeze here in the Athens of New AT England.
