So I saved this plant from the typical Christmas scenario. my boss was going to throw it out...and something made me take it out of the trash can and bring it home...

That was 3 years ago... As you can see she has grown to be rather big now, but as you can see the leafs are somewhat oddly spread, only at the top really with nothing lower down on the branch.

Can anyone tell by the photo if she is healthy and is doing well? Should i be doing something else with her?

I am proud that after 3 years she is still alive and i saved her, but i can't help thinking she isn't "happy"

Can someone offer advice on what the next step is to make her a happy, healthy poinsettia, if you don't think she is already.

I have only seen small ones, not large ones like mine. so I'm not sure how they are suppose to look once they get to this height.
