PLEASE HELP! I do not know how to help my poinsettia!!!! She dropped 2 other leafs today! Her leaves are turning more yellow every single day. I have been misting her to raise the humidity! Please help me ➡️ help her! 🚨🚨

Can you post a picture? What is your watering schedule? Also, misting doesn’t actually increase humidity and can lead to fungal and bacterial infections and pests

I usually water when the top part of the soil is dry… if I stick my finger in about 1/2 of an inch and it’s dry then I water

Honestly, I have no idea. It doesn’t look or sound like it’s over or under watered. My best guess would be pests, or maybe a fungal infection

With the increased misting and these photos I’m thinking fungal…

I repotted my healthy poinsettia a few weeks ago because it was in a teeny pot and flopping over. No joke, all but one leaf fell off a day later! I just set it back in a happy place and it seems to be OK. They are tough plants to keep happy!
