I know many of us have (or will have) poinsettias. They are one of my biggest challenges, so searching found these 2 interesting sites.

Thank you darius, I wasnt going to buy any this year because they dont come with care instructions and I hate killing them every year due to not knowing how to care for them at all.

The local high school ski club sells beautiful poinsettias, and I always buy some...but now I will know how to care for them properly! Thanks for the timely info.
Ho Ho Ho!!!

I swore off of buying live poinsettias a few years ago when they brought my first ever white flies into the house. ARGHHH I worked so hard to get rid of those the rest of the season.

This year I found some "silk" poinsettias that looked so real that three different clerks at the store had watered them because they looked and felt "dry". LOL I got three of them on clearance because the fancy wrappers they were in had gotten wet. The best thing is no care and no white flies.
