Can someone please tell me whether my Poinsettia plant is still alive? I’m new to planting and I’m not exactly sure what happened to it.

Poinsettias are very hard. Pull off those leaves and water it and give it good light, however Poinsettia's require perfect conditions, hence the reason why people only have them for a short period of time. I got rid of mine because it was too stressful for me

Thank you so much. I will try that

Looks like it got too little light, too dry (or low humidity) or went outside its temperature range. Poinsettias are tropical shrubs like crotons that grow in full sunlight in their natural environment . You need to emulate that environment by giving it warmth, humidity in the 50% range or higher and giving it at least 12 hours of daylight or a strong grow light. Fertilize at least once per month. 🪴🍀
