I bought two Poinsettia at Stewarts in Christchurch (my favourite big garden centre but not as good at Mathews Plants in Harlow) last Saturday, a week ago. I read the leaflet and vowed to keep them both. I placed then in the porch with the outer door locked at all times - so no draughts - and the inner door open - to take up the heat from the house. The leaflet said 10 to 12 degrees - It has been that most of the time. So why is one alive and looking gorgeous while the second is giving up the ghost as I write! HELP! What is happening? Is it me? I have not watered as the leaflet said use tepid water but wait till dry.
