Beginner Gardening: poinsettas, 0 by emptyeyes

I found some Jobe's fertilizer spikes, they are 13-4-5. Is that ok for poinsettas? I can't put the poinsetta in the dark between 5 and 8 because I work those times and my hubby is not always home to do it. I was thinking of just growing both of them as houseplants, it would be nice to have some greenery in the house all year round, the amaryllis goes outside as soon as it gets warm and stays warm. I think I see some new leaves coming on, or am I mistaken?
