For many, poinsettias are a fundamental part of the festive season. While there’s no denying they radiate seasonal cheer, poinsettias also have a reputation for being difficult to keep happy.
In reality, they’re less fussy than they’re often made out to be; but they are sensitive to their surroundings. Even when care feels attentive, small missteps in temperature, watering, or placement can quickly cause a poinsettia to wilt or drop its leaves. The fact is they can be difficult to revive, which is why so many are discarded once the holidays are over.
