This is my poinsettia that I’m trying to resurrect. All its leaves fell, and so I repotted it with fresh soil. I think the problem was that we overwatered it and never repotted it. i if anybody has experiences saving poinsettias, please do share!!!
put it in a smaller pot. use fertilizer
0 likes The roots were really long and this pot isnt that large i think. Which fertilizer should i use? I have all purpose food that i bought in home depot. Is that good enough? Thank u for your response :)
0 likes I use that one too! it works. id recommend still downsizing and trimming roots.
1 like Oh i should have trimmed the roots! I used that home depot food on my bell pepper plant and it went into a shock for 4 days! So i worry about it but I will try on Poinsettia.

Don’t downsize pot and definitely don’t cut the roots. Use a very small amount of acidic fertilizer maybe every 3 months. Any acidic fertilizer, can be bought at Walmart. Your plant looks alive and will take time to start growing again. No Direct sunlight!!!
0 likes Ok yes i will try that

0 likesI water mine every 7 to 10 days, mist every few days. Mine do ok and I’ve even propagated with stem cuttings. I wouldn’t say they are thriving but doing ok. Sometimes if I travel for an extended period I’ll come back and it will look bad but so far it’s recovered with care
