Thanks Hollyeves, Please tell me is it best to water from the bottom ?.....

Oh, You are lucky - Santa has already visited your home! :) Or... is it Santa's house? LOL

No .. Never seen one that big before , thats stunning !

Hi Hollyeves.Our small one from last year did not die off,so nurtured it throughtout the year and gave it 14 hours darkness since October.Has rewarded us with lovley red bracts in time for Christmas ! Hope to bring it on again next year ! Has put on a couple of inches height but nothing like yours.Its lovely.!

thats great hollyeves and well done to BB

Thanks Sbg !

I have not been able to keep one over myself but there is a little cafe here in town that has a solarium type garden room for eating in..it is very different in that it has a space to the sides for planting into the earth against the wall...there have been poinsetta's climbing around in there around the wood stove for as long as I have been around...they are vine like and grow along the wall...I have always looked for them when ever I have gone in..next time I go there.....I will have to take my camera..it has been a long while..I hope they are still there. Could be a while so don't be holding your breath....

I've never seen one that big, but my mother had one once that kept it's red colour from Christmas until the following August.

Thanks Holly.......

Lovely plant lincslass...
Fancy having a go at keeping one i just got for the wife. any ideas ?? do they grow in the garden all year and have a couple of weeks darkness by the sound of it ??

Mine kept going Hywel..........so i just kept repoting it every year......
your welcome Lincslass.....

Its my plant Mushybanna.... lol.............. they will keep indoors , but keep away from to much heat or the leaves will drop..... later in the year you can repot to a bigger pot......... to get the bracts... the red flowers , you have to reduce the daylight hours a bit each day .... i used to keep mine in the diningroom and so the light was not on all the time.. it liked it in there...... i dont think its suitable 4 the garden.... but you could put the pot out in the summer.....Holly

Thanks Holly
