Christmas Poinsettias

I only had one some years ago and died only because it was in a draft, i've never brought another one 

Hello poinsettias need special treatment to make the leaves red they need to be kidded into thinking that they have 12 hours of dark and 12 hours of day light we used to grow 1.200.000 the greenhouses were covered with black polythene during the day and lots if light during the night they weren't worth growing eventually, the supermarkets wanted them cheaper and cheaper  jezza
