Poinsettia Tree – Overwatering
Q: How do I care for a poinsettia tree? Mine has dropped almost all its leaves but I continue to water it every other day.
A: I think you’ve overwatered. If it has lost all of its leaves, it’s probably not possible to save it. But you could try putting it in bright indoor light and watering it once a week. Put it in a shady spot outdoors when nights are warm.
