Last December, a good friend bought me a beautiful green and white poinsettia as a hosting gift. I refused to discard it after the holidays, so I set myself the challenge of keeping it going until next Christmas. Somewhat surprisingly, my plant is thriving, and I can genuinely say I now know what a poinsettia needs (and doesn't need) in March and April to keep it happy.
My plant still looks healthy and strong, which you can see in the image below. Most of its bracts have now turned white, which is to be expected as it hasn't begun putting on any new growth just yet, but it is still striking and lush as it settles into its dormancy period.
