Would daylight or proper fertilization be more important for leaf growth and color on poinsettias?

Expert Response

It's all about the daylength. Without that trigger, it would not bloom and therefore would not color up in tandem. This is probably way more than you want to know about photoperiodism in poinsettias: https://extension.sdstate.edu/are-you-photoperiodic-poinsettias-are
