poinsettia
Habitué(e)s of this venerable group may recall that I acquired a sprig
of poinsettia last Christmas which just kept on growing. I put it out in a pot in the spring and it's just kept on growing in the garden. It's now about a foot or so high and seems perfectly happy. Should I bring it in again over winter? Can I make it go red for Christmas? -- Kate B PS 'elvira' is spamtrapped - please reply to 'elviraspam' at cockaigne dot org dot uk if you want to reply personally |

Can I make it go red for Christmas? It's just a baby. We have one that almost covers the front room window. The only way to get poinsettia to go red for Christmas is too totally obscure all light for about a month. Put yours in a very dark location now. We don't have a big enough dark enclosure. Fortunately it looks quite nice without the red leaves. Steve -- Neural Planner Software Ltd www.NPSL1.com |
