You may be wrapping up your Christmas celebrations or slowly taking the ornaments off the tree, but the holiday season is not quite over yet. I do not know about you, but the poinsettia plants around my home are still blooming bright, adding a lively festive touch to every room. Though the Christmas tree may have a shorter acceptable life span for lingering in the home after the holidays, the beautiful red blossoms of poinsettia flowers add a stylish pop of color to your home well into the new year. That is if your poinsettia's leaves dropping isn't becoming a problem.
Good poinsettia care is much like the care of all of our favorite winter houseplants — water them just the right amount, give them appropriate doses of sun, etc, etc. However if, like me, you are not blessed with a green thumb, the sight of a poinsettia leaf prematurely falling signals the beginning of the end of your festive indoor garden. Fear not, there are steps you can take to revitalize your poinsettia plant and keep its leaves from dropping a little longer.
