Answers:    Poinsettias are a tropical plant. They inevitability warm temperature ( between 65 -70 degrees) and bright indirect sunlight. Water when the soil is slightly dry to the touch. Over-watering can cause root rot...underwatering will lead to leaf and bract (the colorful bit of the plant) drop. Also, you will want to protect from drafts and heat sources. Don't prune it until it is completely done flowering and the colorful bracts start to tip out off. The plant will look a touch on the splindley side at this point. Poinsettias are not a plant that you can get to re-flower to look close to it did when you bought it. That takes a regimen of complete gloom at night (more than 12 hours of it) vs bright daylight.
Hope this help!
If I am going to put peat moss...
