My poinsettia which I bought ten days ago has started to show signs of distress as the leaves are turning yellow. Which is the correct way of watering and should I let it get completely dry,

It could be that it is in a draught? They really don't like sudden changes in temperature either so maybe it caught a chill on the way home? In my expereince they don't like to dry out and I guess they wouldn't like cold water straight from the tap either. Hope that helps.

jonssmith1, you're not supposed to advertise on gransnet threads. It's very obvious that your posts are extracts from books or something like Wikipedia.
