. . . and December Birthdays!
Poinsettia plants have already been in the shops for several weeks but I hesitate to buy one yet because I don't seem to be very good at looking after them and I'm afraid that if I bought one now, it would most likely be dead by Christmas-time!
This article gives plenty of advice about caring for your poinsettia and even keeping it alive and flowering from one Christmas to the next! I think my problem is that my Edwardian house isn't light enough or warm enough for this tropical plant. So, if you are like me, loving the way the bright red, contrasts with the dark green, but reluctant to take on the care of this rather fussy plant, here are some poinsettias that will keep indefinitely!

I am hopeless at keeping plants alive in the house, i always think they are protesting because they want to be out doors. Love you Poinsettia designs.
I'm OK with most houseplants, Fliss, but I've never succeeded with Poinsettias. And thank you for your comments - glad you like my Poinsettia designs. At least they won't die on me! :)
