- F. C8 `& c I9 V6 ]3 vMy poinsettia is still very pretty. I didn't do anything special. It is still in the original pot even with the red packing paper outside. It has been sitting on the dinning table in front of big south-facing window ever since. My two gardenias are right at the windows, having a lot of buds already. On the floor I have a few nursery pots with new seedings of sweet peas, peas, etc.
