Poinsettia Plants

This is my 2nd year keeping my Poinsettia plants going. I hadn't ever been able to get them to live past December before this!  I started with 2 plants left over from our church's Christmas decorations and this year, we added three more (Emily claimed one and William claimed another).

I just trimmed them back per the instructions I found online.

One of the new ones died this year (thankfully neither of the ones claimed by the kids!)

Poinsettias

I have never had any poinsettias that I get last through the winter without dying.  This year, I had two that have survived!  I looked up how to take care of them so I can see if they will bloom for Christmas again.
