Why Are My New Poinsettia Leaves Starting To Wilt?

Question

This is my poinsettia from last Christmas. It has dropped all of it’s leaves and bracts from Christmas and has started to bud along the stems. However it seems that the oldest and biggest budding leaves have started to wilt. I have been watering once a week for approximately 3 months now. It’s on the dining table where it has been since December. It gets indirect light and only the tiniest bit of sunlight through the blinds in the morning. Room temp remains constant between 65 and 75 degrees.

These are somewhat heavy feeders, and need to experience a dormancy to remain healthy. In order to care for them indoors, you will need to replicate its natural environment. This can be a bit tricky.
