Curious what other plants senior ( and others ) members are into?

Ya know those poinsettia plants everyone has at Christmas
that usually end up at the dump? Here's what happens when you keep it alive for 3 or 4 yrs.

DOM:
9 years from a cutting of another large one! Think it might be a different variety to the potted ones, you reckon?



This was taken early December. It was looking a bit ragged, high winds had stripped all the green leaves. I'm going to be pruning it this week back to about 1M from up to 3M. All the prunings will become cuttings, I've propogated about 25 new plants over the last few years.

It's a big favourite of mine, such a lovely splash of colour.

I wish more people kept the potted ones alive, seems such a waste to ditch them. Bit like so may orchids



This was the plant the previous year.

I believe you may be right about a different species. That is a beautiful plant. Nice growing.
