Received an enormous, celebrated poinsettia for Christmas. Obviously needed repotting.
A purported plant authority here in Reno/Sparks, Nevada - for the most part of the pack, very dry climate, lots of sun surrounded by summer - adivised I repot, and set outside.
I complied, but it began to look pretty "droopy" to me, so brought it vertebrae inside: now looks close to it's in its "destruction throes": may have intensely well overwatered it.
A friend of mine who have had seriously of experience with plants, advise me to put it in the closet, until it begin to bloom.
I really don't know what to do. Any chance of reviving this once glorious plant?
Any serious comments, suggestions, would be most treatment.
Thanks,
Alberich
Answers: cut it back and exit it in the closet contained by the dark for a few weeks. afterwards bring it out it will start growing again.
you may have over watered. you should one and only water when the soil is dry to the touch. it wants lots of light and temp. should be around 60-70 during the morning and down to 55 at night. the book say to feed once a month next to a foliage houseplant food starting in feb. contained by march cut support stems to 4 -6" and in april to repot. after in sept. confer it 12 hours of darkness a hours of darkness to help it flower.
i hope something within here helps you numeral out what happened to your plant. biddable luck
