Darkness is the answer. You will involve to cover your plant with a tacky black lawn case or something that will keep out the reading light for about 14 hours respectively night for the subsequent few months.
It's a bit late to win a red poinsettia by Christmas, but if you start now you may find a little red.
Good Luck
