I am trying to bring back my plant from last Christmas. I am enclosing a picture to show how the plant looks.
It should have green leaves on it. Once the colored bracts fall in winter and regrow green, the plant can be moved outdoors after the threat of frost has passed. Then in fall brought in and with decreased water and nighttime total darkness, the bracts should develop color.

I have Poinsettias I want to plant outside in a ceramic pot on my front porch. I live in a Easton PA so it’s gets cold. Will the Poisettas make it outside in the ceramic planter with soil by being watered and given plant food 1 to 2 times a month????
No. They will die right away. Poinsettias are native to Mexico and Guatemala.
Only those who live in USDA hardiness zones 10-12 can plant their poinsettias outdoors. You live in zone 6b, where winter temperatures are often below freezing.
Here is information on how to care for them indoors:
I have a poinsettia that is over 8 feet tall. It has groups of leaves and then a branch and another group of leaves. I have it hooked to my living room drapes, and it keeps growing. How do I keep it from losing its leaves or from stressing out?
It may be prettier trimmed back some, and then pinching tips to make it bushy. It needs specific watering, humidity and temperature to avoid stressing it. Here is more:
I thought I saw an article about this on your site, but I can't find it now.
The answer is no, not permanently in the ground because they are cold sensitive below 50 F. In a pot you can move it outdoors in fair weather and bring it in for the cold season.

Poinsettia still has a few red leaves but is really growing. I’d like to know what to do with it over the summer and have it turn red again for Christmas.
