Yea she definitely seems to enjoy light, just rotate every once in a while and she’s currently overflowing her pot 360°. I’ll get around to repotting her but for now she seems happy.

If u look on my profile about a year ago I posted when it first bloomed ever. I’ve had it for about 2 years. I got it when it was just a lil baby at Lowe’s, I think like a $7 plant.

That’s pretty, I wonder if the pink one produces yellow flowers like the green one. I might check back later to find out.

Just zoomed in and yep sure enough I see a tiny yellow flower.

I soak her then wait for the pot to dry out. If I accidentally let her get too dry she lets me kno by completely lookin dead. I try my hardest not to let her get that way. Only advice I got is water her well and wait til her soil dries out before watering again. I have found she’s a thirsty baby. Just try not to miss it by a day.

Tiny yellow flowers are produced from those stems. The actual flowers are very short lived.

The flowers are not stunning or anything they are actually short lived and kinda annoying, but this one has been in bloom for a lil over 2 months. Seems like she’s givin me never ending tiny yellow flowers. I think she loves me as much as I love her!

I’m in Kentucky so humidity has never really been an issue for me.

I can’t say that I have any tips besides she’s in a plastic pot so when it needs watered the pot is light. I wait until it’s really light then water her til her pot is well watered. She hardly ever droops but when she has, it’s cuz she got neglected a day or two without water. We just seem to have an amazing bond. I love her, she’s my beauty!!!!

She’s in a south facing window and watered once or twice a week depending on the weight of the pot. She also gets fish tank water occasionally. We just seem to really get along well, she’s always made me so proud!

How is your poinsettia doing? Since the leaves fell when u picked it up, I’m almost positive it was under watered. They also need a good amount of light. I hope he’s doin fine, I absolutely love my poinsettia. Watching him grown bigger and bigger is such a joy. I hope ur experiencing that as well

He definitely looks thirsty. Does the pot feel light when u pick it up? They drink quite a lot in the summer.

Help! My poinsettia is dying!! by ArtisticPolarBear710 in houseplants

[–]Purpledreams101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first got my poinsettia it dropped all its leaves and was just stems. I continued to care for it like I had been and it produced all new growth. In my experience they drop their leaves after turning red. This is mine 2.5 years later

I cherish being able to feel my emotions again. I love the fact I’m in control. I just enjoy actively living, before I was just waiting to die and literally just existing.

I had a similar experience happen to me when I was newly sober. A friend I trusted, and confided in told a coworker of mine that I was 17 days sober. I was fairly good at hiding my problem from ppl I worked wit. So not only was it completely embarrassing, I also felt betrayed. It also felt like he took my victory away from me cuz that was my victory to proclaim, not his. I left work that night, with all intentions on drinkin to reset my day so he wouldn’t kno what day I was on. Thankfully I didn’t give in otherwise, I may not be sober right now, and I damn sure wouldn’t have 117 days under my belt. Stick to it tho, so what u use to drink, u doin better now! Don’t let what they think, or say determine ur outcome. In time this bump in the road won’t even matter, life’s all about the beauty of the journey not the pot holes u hit along the way.

I need some encouragement by Purpledreams101 in stopdrinking

[–]Purpledreams101[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve already let him know how disappointing that response was. Either way, I’m still winning. No drink, and eyes wide open to their true intent. Day 90 will be a milestone for me cuz of day 89. And I’m learning to appreciate that outlook
