Q: I usually throw my poinsettias away after the holidays, but I recently heard they can last all year with the right care. I'd love to try it – do you have any advice?
A: These popular Christmas plants fade as the festive season ends, but that's no reason to throw them away. They're tender perennials, so a healthy poinsettia will last until next Christmas, and even beyond, if you look after it properly.
