True - people are lethal to poinsettia plants. Just think about how many millions of poinsettia plants are propagated every year, and how few survive more than a few weeks. Number one problem? Pythium root rot caused by over-watering. Drainage is key. Remove the decorative wrapper as soon as possible. Check your plant before you water. Stick a finger in the pot and if it feels damp, wait. When dry, take your plants to the sink to flush with room-temperature water and let them drain for half an hour before you put them back in a sightly sunny place. whatever <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8393443.stm" title="BBC ">BBC </a>—Backyard bird feeding changes avian evolution. </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/coupon_spot.jpg" alt="Visit dirtdujour.com" width="225" height="147" border="0" /></a></td> <td style="padding-left: 15px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sponsored.jpg" alt="Sponsored" width="219" height="58" /> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td align="center" valign="top" style="width: 120px; padding: 20px 0 0 12px;"><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sign_up.gif" alt="Email Sign Up" border="0" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"/></a> <a href="http://www.hpotter.com?a_aid=4c73e03032ca2&a_bid=dcacf4e8" target="_blank"><img src="http://hpotterwholesale.com/affiliate/accounts/default1/banners/125x240c-1.jpg" alt="Shop Now!
