Sufficient water for the plant is a top priority in order to achieve complete bloom result. Even too much water is detrimental to the roots of Poinsettias and also too little water leads to demise of the plant. Water the roots of the plant when you notice dry surface, but don’t allow the plant to sit in a pot of water as it will murder the plant.
