How do you keep poinsetti

[Tom Randy]

They are REALLY EASY. Just keep the soil damp (not soggy) and give it bright light. Fertilize half the recommended rate every other watering.

Hi Tom, Can you tell me what the recommended fertilizer is and the how much to use? Thanks, Marg

[Cereus-validus...]

Yeah Tom do tell.

Do you use that expensive yak dung from outer Mongolia or do you have your own special brand of manure just for newsgroups?

If you keep the soil continuously damp for Poinsettias they will most certainly rot.

[Tom Randy]

Miracle grow is just fine. Or any houseplant type, 10-10-10, 20-20-20

I think she knows what I mean. What seems to be your problem?

Oh I forgot, you're Randy Tom, the plant psychic.

I am thinking of the proper plant to ram up your posterior.

Can you name that plant?
