Doing so successfully, though, requires some tips on the care for poinsettias. Fortunately, Marie Iannotti tells us all about care for poinsettias in this article.

I planted my christmas poinsettia outside and it’s thriving. However, since I live in Atlanta, I know I must bring it in before a freeze – what do I do to help it flower near next Christmas? Thanks – M. Daley

Mary,

The article I link to from the post above questions whether such care for poinsettias is worth the effort. I tend to be in the camp that says it’s not, but the article contains the information you’ll need to proceed, in case you fall into the other camp.
