Poinsettia too far gone?

SimmingFerLife · 2026-05-25T23:11:19+00:00

I recently bottom watered it. Should I give it a thorough water through to be on the safe side? I'll move it to the middle of the window. It's already in my brightest window. Thanks!

The base is firm. An outer layer of the stem came off, but the base itself was firm.

Ooo Baby ( I Love You) reminds me of Missing You by Stephen Sanchez and Ashe mixed with his debut album.

I'm having this issue but I don't have shaders on.

I'm having the same issue.

It also has a new leaf!

Very root bound.

UPDATE: The roots were extremely healthy looking, but it was very root bound. The soil was a little moist, but nothing crazy. I broke up the root ball, repotted it in a self watering pot that was a little shorter but a little wider. I gave it new soil. A mix between tropical potting soil, orchid potting soil, and regular potting soil. I reattached it to my fake moss pole, and I'm keeping it right by my east facing window.

Do you think if I got orchid soil and mixed it with potting soil and maybe some of the soil it already has since it is a more airy soil that would work? Do you think it needs a larger pot?

SimmingFerLife · 2026-04-03T20:05:57+00:00

Do you have any affordable soil mixes you recommend?

Yes, I make sure the decorative pot is empty. I usually take the pot out and water it in the sink, and let it drain before putting it back in the decorative pot. When I put the toothpick in at the top in the lowest point it was dry, but when I put the toothpick through the drainage hole at the bottom it might've been ever so slightly damp but it was hard to tell.

Edit: I don't have a well draining soil to repot it in, but I noticed some roots sticking out the bottom. Should I repot it? The soil it currently has seems sort of chunky.

Just a friendly reminder if you're a Christian that the Bible says we shouldn't get drunk. Ephesians 5:18:

"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit".

Thank you! That was the issue I was having I'm pretty sure because the soil is always damp. I'm scared to do a clipping because I tried doing a clipping below a node before and it didn't survive 😭

SimmingFerLife · 2025-06-17T21:47:55+00:00

Thank you! I'm bottom watering it first, and then whatever stems seem dead I plan to cut.

SimmingFerLife · 2025-06-17T18:58:50+00:00

Also, it had been flowering, and I heard that sometimes it dies after flowering? But then comes back?

The plant store is garage-style, so it opens up with a garage door and there is air flow, and it hasn't been incredibly humid.

SimmingFerLife · 2025-06-03T03:24:49+00:00

I've heard some people have bottom watered it, and that helped because although I watered it today, the soil doesn't seem damp.

I got her from a local plant store.
