Poinsettia

[wendymurp]

I have kept a Christmas poinsettia in my conservatory for over 2 years. I repotted it some time ago but it’s now growing into a small tree. Loses leaves often but produces more and more. It’s also now growing new stems from the roots, so obviously happy where it is. I feel it could benefit from a larger pot but am worried about the difficulty. It will be a 2 person job! Does anyone have advice? Shall I attempt a repot or let well alone?

Do you WANT a bigger Poinsettia? It will be okay in that pot for another couple of years or you could move it into something 6-10” bigger if you don’t want to repot it for 5 or 6 years. You could plant a nice trailing ground cover under it to cover the bare soil.
