Exhibition: where to put the poinsettia?

Poinsettia: should the vase be changed?
The poinsettia they just gave you probably doesn't need a change of vase. The pot should be changed when the red leaves fall, so just before the arrival of summer, around May. Always put expanded clay on the bottom to leave the earth well drained and choose a pot slightly larger than the original.
