I have just been tending my little one.  It made me wonder, did you have one and have you still got it ?  Mrs Bouquet

Mrs rocket seems to be able to look after them but they don't reproduce the red leaves (I think, TBH I don't really pay that much attention  ::))

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
