All this rigamarole is to get the poinsettia to bloom "on schedule." But even if you go through all this, it is diminishingly unlikely that the casual gardener can achieve the success rate or color of the greenhouse experts. The smallest amount of light during the dark period will increase the time to get the color, and missing a day will likely mean no color will appear at all. Sometimes it's more prudent just enjoy your plants as-is, and pick up another inexpensive "Christmas display" at the store. | |
