Turning my Poinsettia red…..

I have read that my Poinsettia needs total darkness for 14 hours a day, and I’ve been doing that since the start of October but I find the compost is drying out and I have been watering it lightly to keep the compost slightly moist….is that OK or should it be allowed to dry out?
