Costco has some beautiful Poinsettias right now for the holiday season. My mother loves flowers and the such. Her birthday is January 3rd, and I was thinking of getting her one for her birthday, however I’m not exactly familiar with how often they should be watered or their longevity? I’m worried if I wait to buy it after Christmas, they will all be gone.

My question is, if I bought it next weekend, would it last another week and a half with proper care? And what tips would you give me regarding caring for it? Obviously as I am up in Canada and we’re expecting a blizzard tonight, it’ll be kept indoors.
