Does anybody know if there's a Guiness Book of Records for the longest living potted Poinsetta? We've had this plant since before Christmas! It's starting to look a little frail and Dan just wants to chuck it out but I've grown rather fond of it! I find myself talking to it somedays:) And it's become a symbol of endurance for me:) For example: others might not think you "fit in" or pretty enough anymore but you can SHOW THEM! Be strong and hold to your roots. Remember the Poinsetta in YOU! (LOL)

I kept mine around for a long time but just threw them out a couple weeks ago. My Grandpa has transplanted them into bigger pots and kept them alive all year long for a couple of years now. It is incredible.
You are funny, I would have thrown it away the day after Christmas. I don't like Christmas stuff up a day past the holiday. You are much nicer to that plant than I ever would be.
Why you little green thumb! I'm impressed.
Plant it in your garden! Will add some colour, and wont look so christmasy with other flowers around it:)
I planted mine in my garden a good number of years ago and it is huge now, but then we live in Amanzimtoti and we do not have snow and cold weather to contend with. I know that if you also 'feed' it, it will last quiet long. Love and miss you all.
I think my sister or mom kept one alive for like 2 years. But you are right it is a great example for us to endure.
Must admit that I never knew that was what you called them. I thought they were Christmas rose!
Thanks, learn something new every day!!!
You are so adorable!!! I love it... talking to your plant... fyi.. you're not the only one ;)! The advice others have left is priceless about the replanting... They can actually grow into 'trees'... I see them all the time here in CR in yards....
