A mature height of 2 feet-15 feet/0.6096-4.9 meters is possible for poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima), depending upon the context.
Specifically, in their native Mexican habitat, poinsettias have a chance of realizing their full potential as perennial shrubs. But in the United States of America, they traditionally are viewed as end-of-year holiday plants to be kept in houseplant containers and treated as annuals whose life is short and whose demise is imminent. In this role, they tend to be cultivated to reach mature heights about one-eighth (1/8) of their potential in the wild.

∙ 13y agoSixteen (16) feet/4.9 meters is the height to which poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is capable of maturing in the wild.
Specifically, the plant is actually a shrub. If left to its own devices, it will concentrate more on growing taller stems than on providing lusher, thicker foliage. In contrast, the plant's cultivated varieties are encouraged to branch out for fuller, thicker foliage at the expense of height.
