I have to buy one for a bequest but don't want to if they don't last.
Answers: I've have my Poinsettia for 2 years now. All the red leaves enjoy gone but it still looks nice. If you keep it surrounded by a warm room facing a north or east windowpane, away from a radiator, then it should ending for many years. If you want the red leaves/bracts next you will have to put the plant within a darkened room from late september onwards, individual bringing it out into the light for 2-3 hours each day. You should then own a nice red leaved Poinsettia for Christmas!
It depends how lonely you are.
