Certified ExpertA.It is best to prune them after the growth dies back, and when new growth starts. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/poinsettia/outdoor-poinsettia-plants.htm

February 10, 2018A.When you feel all risk of frost is past, prune the plant back to live wood. It should recover. Check with your Florida Extension Service for further advice; many gardeners have the same problem this year.

Canon City Colorado 81212Q.Poinsettia care
Is it too late to trim my poinsettia back? I want it to rebloom. Can I get a email about its care.

March 2, 2018A.No, it is late, but not too late. Cut all of the stems back to just above the lowest new growth node on each stem. Although it is better to prune back right after the flower is finished, there is still plenty of time for the new growth to come in and develop from now until September.

68510Q.pionsetta plant
I have a pionsetta plant that I've had for over 10 years. It is now the end of May and it's still blooming. Can I cut it back and repot it while it's still blooming? Or would this kill it?
- Answered by
WillCreed on
May 25, 2018A.There is no reason to repot it. Normally, it is pruned back in January, but it can be pruned way back at any time. The purpose of the pruning is to keep the plant full and compact and to promote colored bracts next holiday season on the new growth. You are a bit late on the pruning and that may mean you won't get the colorful bracts at the end of the year. But pruning will not kill the plant.

July 9, 2018Q.Poinsettias
I have two beautiful mini poinsettias I purchased before Christmas. They are indoors and still beautifully in bloom. I live in Maryland and wanted to transplant them outside for the summer. Is it possible to do that? I have never had poinsettias that have lived this long past the holiday. They are in the same small pots as when purchased. They are variegated and really beautiful. I water them weekly allowing to drain. They have dropped very few leaves. Please advise. Thank you.
