Don't let plants spoil your life.

You should just throw it directly in the trash on the fifteenth of January with a little ceremony of farewell before moving on to new challenges.

Great idea. Maybe I'll combine it with Valentine's Day..."Love and Loss"?

Tim Coote

Sounds like a marketer's dream to me.

Poinsettias are kind of romantic yet pointy too. Just the sort of thing to associate with love and disappointment.

I always thought the red/green Christmas thing was sucky and way too literal anyway.

Yes! It's about "re-purposing" the Poinsettia.
The Poinsettia Association of America will thank me. No one will give roses for Valentine's anymore (so one dimensional).

I just found this post here in 2019.

It’s the 10th January. I haven’t watered the god damn thing in 2 weeks. I don’t feel bad. It’s still as fresh as the day I bought it.

Coincidentally I am diagnosed with chronic fatigue.

I hate this plant now, why won’t it give up?

Hi Lis!

Funny, I completely forgot about this post.

A dear friend gave me a poinsettia in early Dec (he calls it "the Robert Goulet of plants"). I pretty much neglected it,and it rather quickly withered and finally bit the dust. I threw it out about a week ago, but felt rather guilty (my friend understood).

Don't give up. It can't last forever.

Thanks for commenting. And Happy New Year!
