I saved my Pointsettia Plants, cut them back and out they go when the Weather permits, they got HUGE this last Summer, the only problem is the Flowers are small compaired to the ones in the Stores, has excellent color (RED) only the Flowers are Small. is there any tricks that i am not doing? They Flower in short Daylight Hours, mine started at the End of OCT. Any knowlege of why the Blooms would be so small would be great.

Hi Mindy,
Welcome!
First, what zone are you in? Or what state?
They really don't like that heavy mix that they come in originally. Mine are planted outdoors in pure sand. I use compost tea about every 3-4 months to "fertilize" them. You want to make sure they are not root bound they like lots of root room.
