Poinsettia care?

I have kept my poinsettia on topof my entertainment center through the holiday. Ipicked it up earler to water it and litterally all of the green leaves and many of the red bracts fell off. Is it saveable?? I would like to try and grow it, but is it worth it?

Poinsettia care?
If you overwater them or put them in a draft the leaves oftentimes will fall off. If you want to save it just put it in a location where there is no draft, where there is filtered sunlight, and water only when the top inch of soil is dry. And don't fertilize until it gets some new large leaves.
