    The flowering and color change is actually triggered by lack of sunlight, darkness.
    This is much more difficult to do with your plants in the ground.

    Here is a link that explains the process.

    You can just prune it to shape as you like. You do not want to remove any more than 1/3 of the plant at a time, but other than that, you can remove growth as you need to.

    The time of darkness and temperatures are very specific to the reblooming of your Poinsettia.
    Unfortunately there is no way to cheat the process.
