A couple years is how long poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) can grow.
Specifically, poinsettias are perennial shrubs in their native southwest Mexican and Central American homelands. Outside that native range, they tend to be grown as annuals whose life and death take place over the course of a year. But they have the potential to live much longer, if such critical conditions as appropriate levels of heat, light intensity and moisture are met.
Red Poinsettias bloom in the cool, dark times of the year, when nights are long. Poinsettias require darkness and dryness to grow, as sunlight and excess water can damage the plants.
Thank you for watering my poinsettias.
Poinsettias have fibrous roots that can spread as far as they need to.

Twelve (12) hours 20 minutes of uninterrupted darkness for five (5) days straight is the amount of darkness that poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) needs in order to bloom.Specifically, that is the requirement that must be met sometime between September 20 and October 20 in order for poinsettias to bloom in December. Such is the natural bloom cycle for poinsettias as long as other critical conditions such as air and soil moisture, light intensity, nutrition and temperature are met. But in fact, anytime that poinsettias undergo the above-mentioned short day/long night cycle they have the potential to see the flowering process initiated and their modified leaves change in color from green to red 65-85 days later.
Poinsettias are called flores de nochebuena because they are flowers that are beautiful at night.

Poinsettias were brought into the United States by Joel Robert Poinsett in 1825. He brought this plant from Mexico, where poinsettias are native plant or shrub that can grow to 15 feet in height .Poinsettias are usually associated with the Christmas season.
