# This was a beautiful full poinsettia at Christmas. I think I didn't…

_Posted by Linda on 2025-03-27_

This was a beautiful full poinsettia at Christmas. I think I didn't water it when it should have been watered. The leaves began falling. After being watered it began shooting out new growth. Now it seems to be top heavy. NB it did get moved farther from natural sunshine which may have stopped the growth. I have now moved it closer to the window. My question is... should I wait or is it time to cut down the stems and propagate?
