I bought a small poinsettia for Christmas, and I am surprised it has last this long. It is losing leaves but the stalks still seem good and green. And so instead of throwing it out, I was looking to bring it back to health and keep it year long.

Do you have any tips for taking care of a poinsettia and bringing it back to health? Watering, plant food, light? Amounts?
I’ve already checked the Wikipedia site, so please reference other pages. Thanks for your help.
Amdrmgirl, should I do this even if it still has more than a dozen leaves, including some small green ones that seem to be just sprouting?
Garden geek: Thanks, but I couldn’t find anything on poinsettias.
