I think it is more difficult to get the red back in the bracts, but if it stays green it is still beautiful. I think the split between darkness and daylight is the way to go to get the red back, so good luck! I hope you have a great visit with Grace, and it's wonderful that her career is taking off now. xPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889103826921393113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-83960865022553705612014-10-03T14:25:47.695+01:002014-10-03T14:25:47.695+01:00Well done you for rescuing the poinsettia - I have...Well done you for rescuing the poinsettia - I have an orchid which I'm trying to bring back to life, but don't really have green fingers - not yet anyway, but I'm just about to go and play with the shaving foam, so maybe later this afternoon will be a different story!!!

Good luck,<br />I'm not keen on orchids but people keep buying them as house plants for me. I don't even like house plants, I prefer plants to be in the garden. Anyway, my nieces bought me an orchid for my birthday two years ago last September, and it's still flowering!! <br />Since then three other kind!!?? people have bought me them so it's like flipping Kew Gardens in here.<br />See you Sunday on C&C, and safe journey to Grace xx.<br />Maureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-51344650277676181322014-10-03T13:21:35.872+01:002014-10-03T13:21:35.872+01:00So glad you managed to save the Poinsettia, love t...So glad you managed to save the Poinsettia, love those plants, I try to keep mine each year but fail.<br /><br />Enjoy your time with Grace, wow! an actress, good for her.

The trick is that they need 12 hours of full darkness a day and for christmas the red leaves should be there again. Don´t know if that works???<br /><br />Grace looks beautiful on the screen.
