    Keep it evenly watered and away from drafts. Give it indirect sunlight. You can set it outside in the summertime.

    Some people recommend cutting it back to about 2" tall once the colorful bracts ( leaves ) drop off. I don't usually do this. I think it is personal preference.

    Poinsettias will drop leaves, too, but it doesn't mean it's dying. They grow new leaves.
