For the very first time I have managed to keep my Christmas poinsettia alive and it actually looks reasonably happy. I took in the advice to water from the base with tepid water once a week and it's thrived....
On checking my Nectar account this morning, I find that I had a bargain yesterday. Not only was I was given a special price of 77p on our usual teabags but also 60 extra Nectar points worth 30p so, in effect, the teabags cost 44p 😁 Yay! Possibly worth getting wet for!

Well done on the poinsettia, mine gave up the ghost after barely a month!
ReplyDeleteoh dear :(
DeleteMy best ever Poinsettia lasted for well over a year, until I left it home alone with Alan!! Seemingly they grow into trees eventually although I'm not sure which country is their original home. Why not just wait until the warmer weather and then transplant outdoors to a sheltered spot and see what happens. At least it has a chance of survival that way ... should it choose to do so ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue, I'll give that a try. I had no idea that they grow into a tree 🌲😊 I'll give it a chance to survive a while longer 👍
DeleteWas your Poinsettia from Sainsburys, by any chance? I get mine from there every year and it lasts well into the summer - the best it did was August!
ReplyDeleteNo, Julia, it was on half price offer at £2 from B & Q so I'm really pleased with it. Well done on getting yours through to August!
DeleteWay to go on keeping your Poinsettia going.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I hate throwing away good house plants but sometimes there is nothing you can do. I think you can get them to turn red if you cover with a black bag. They closed our big Sainsburys a few years ago now we only have an express. So its not worth the petrol to get there.
