Ruffled Pointsettia Leaves Falling Off

Question From: TEXAS
Q: I have a ruffled Poinsettia I fed when I brought it home a week ago an I keep it watered it's in indirect light but all the leaves are falling off, what's the problem? Thank you so much for your help

A:

It may have gotten a chill on it's trip home. It should have been well wrapped in paper. Cold drafts will cause poinsettias to drop their leaves. You don't need to feed it. Water when soil surface dries. Happy Yardening, Nancy
