You know the merry season is over when …
Euphorbia pulcherrima roughtly translates into “why on earth do you keep trying”. Surprisingly, poinsettia actaully made it all the way to the New Year this year.
Sigh.
January and February in Berlin are certainly not for wimps. Even in ‘bright’ daylight, you cannot take a decent photo. May your start to the year be less gloomy!
Thanks for flying with be kitschig & stay on the bright side of life.
Same procedure as every year? Proof right here.

That’s a sad flower. I grew one for two tears once until i found they don’t turn red at the holidays. They have to be forced. 🤣😎🙃
If you make it that far, you ought to keep them in the dark 🧐
I tried that with my kids but it didn’t work. They didn’t bloom either 😔
😂 maybe dark wasn’t enough. For the grandkids try cold, wet basement
So you’re saying humidity 🤔 is the key? Hmmm 🤣😎🙃
That looks just like my geranium that flowered at Christmas when I brought it inside. I’m hoping to keep it alive long enough to take cuttings. I cut out the middle man with poinsettias and don’t bother buying them any more. The excuse is that they’re poisonous for cats, so why take the chance? You can probably get a pretty convincing fake one and reuse year after year.
Here in Michigan the weather guy says January 10th is the grayest day of the year … hard to distinguish as we’ve not seen the sun in days. I have never been able to keep a poinsettia past Christmas. I either under-water it or over-water it.
Thanks Linda, that makes me feel a bit better. Hang in there, the sun will show up eventually
