What’s going on with my poinsettia? I’m not seeing any evidence of pests in the soil or on the leaves. What should I do to treat her? Should I trim the browning leaves?

That looks like an infection or fungal disease. I’d get some spray solution and cut off affected leaves.

I cut off the infected leaves and sprayed with fungicide. I’ll keep you all posted!
