ANSWER A reader to know how to care for a poinsettia so that it would bloom again next year. Thanks to Richard Herring for his answer. Step one: poinsettias need indirect sunlight at least six hours daily. Place a curtain or light shade between the sun and the plant if direct sunlight can not be avoided. Temperatures should not exceed 70°F, not fall below 55°F. Step two: Keep poinsettias away from heat and drafts as the soil must stay moderately moist. Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry to touch. Do not let the plant stand in water. Step three: after blooming, fertilize every two to three weeks with a balanced household fer tilizer to maintain foilage. Step four: when the top colored growth (bracts) lose their appeal, cut the plant back to about 8 inches. Though stark in appearance, by May the plant will have new growth. By June Ist, you should repot the plant. Use heavily or ganic soil. Place the plant outdoors once the weather is warm. Step five: the plant will begin producing flo wers in the fall. Starting Oct. 1, be sure the poinsettia has at least 14 hours of total contin uous darkness each night and about six to eight hours of bright sunlight each day. The plant will not bloom properly without this stict regimen. Night time temperatures must not be below 60°F. ANSWER A reader wanted information on gardening magazines.
