Don't forget to water them.
Poinsettias don't die with regular house plant care.
They typically drop the showy bracts after flowering but the bracts are more persistent for the newer cultivars.
Do a Google search and you will find many websites with info on Poinsettia care.
Paul James just covered this on today's first showing of Gardening by the Yard. Here's the link to the segment:
