Nope, why is that? Does it have a timer or something and it knows when Christmas is over and then dies? I don't get it either. It's the one plant I take the best care of and it dies anyway.

hope this help Here are the DO's of poinsettia care
• DO place your plant in indirect sunlight for at least six hours per day. If direct sun
can't be avoided, diffuse the light with a shade or sheer curtain.
• DO provide room temperatures between 68 - 70° F. Generally speaking, if you are
comfortable, so is your poinsettia.
• DO water your plant when the soil feels dry to the touch.
• DO use a large, roomy shopping bag to protect your plant when transporting it.
• DO fertilize your plant AFTER THE BLOOMING SEASON with a balanced,
all-purpose fertilizer.
And here are the DON'Ts of poinsettia care
• DON'T place plants near cold drafts or excessive heat. Avoid placing plants near
appliances, fireplaces or ventilating ducts or the top of a television.
• DON'T expose plants to temperatures below 50° F. Poinsettias are sensitive to
cold, so avoid placing them outside during the winter months.
• DON'T over water your plant, or allow it to sit in standing water. Always remove
a plant from any decorative container before watering, and allow the water to
drain completely.
• DON'T expose your plant to chilling winds when transporting it.
• DON'T fertilize your plant when it is in bloom.

Yes, I find poinsettia one of the most easier plants to care for because you just have to water them and leave them outside or near a window.

That's because you're not putting enough Cherry Red lipstick on the leaves!
