Can someone please help me save my poinsettia plant.?

I brought it before last Christmas and it gave a wonderful show.


Then in May I planted it in the garden and it thrived. I was told to bring it into the conservatory in a large pot to over winter as the frost would kill it. This I have done but my beauty has now wilted and looks like it is dying what could I do to save it.

Ok I had the exact same problem. I very very gently repotted my plant a second time in fresh nutrient rich compost, and brougth it indoors. I used a really good compost and gave it probably twice the normal plant food at the roots when I was repotting. I actually brought it right into my kitchen which is quite warm and watered it whenever the compost looked a bit sorry for it's self. It lasted me almost a year and I never took it back out side.





Good luck, they're such nice plants for christmas!

Reply:I'm with Andrew on this. This type of plant should be viewed like a bunch of flowers, beautiful when looking fresh and smart and time to bin when it starts to fade.


It's really not worth the effort of trying to revive it.





Well done on keeping it for a year though.
Reply:Congratulations on being able to keep your poinsettia as long as you have. I've had hundreds of these plants and they are absolutley beautiful at christmas but I can't even get mine to last until christmas so I've completely stopped trying. They are notoriously difficult and are more suited to a warm climate. I think I would accept defeat and treat yourself to a new one - you did well to get this far with it.
Reply:Buy a new one. They don't like draughts, and they don't like the English weather.
