Poinsettia

Can I store my poinsettias in the basement so that they can turn red? I don’t have a closet to place them in. I heard that they need 12 hours of darkness, well, I live in Cleveland, Ohio and now it’s dark from 7 pm till 8 am and then there’s still not a lot of bright light. Right now I have them sitting in my living room, which really does not receive a lot of light. They have grown very well. What can I do?
