You'd probably do better to just buy another one and start all over again...

Far too sensible Rosemary, besides where's the fun in that, I'd much rather nurse something back from the brink.

Mrs. D say it's easier to get a new one, rather than persist with a wilting one.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Would going onto the Poultry & Other Livestock forum help?

Apart from the link stating: "They are such good value, it's hardly worth the bother."

Just in case there was a gardening Poinst to it, a guy once in the garden centre of a well-known chain told me, plant it on, as soon as you can, we never anymore use compost.

I don't think, it would be any different in most places, unless you bought it in a well run local nursery, etc.

I think like Gobs said, they're just seen as a disposable thing; though we had one at my work (in England) that lasted for years and was quite nice (I don't normally like poinsettias myself)
