Here is my Poinsetta, kinda sad aint it? Is it really worth it to try to save it until next Christmas, or should I just keep it for the greenery? Some pages say to put in total darkness for a few hours and then some other pages say that is pure myth. My sister-in-law had one that she had for several years, it did not bloom anymore but that sure did grow and grow. I would like it to get color again but if it did not bloom anymore at least it would not die.
