Well mine only cost £1 from Morrisons, and still going strong, and in a small pot and I haven't changed the soil. Seems to like the light on the kitchen window ledge and the double glazed window. I like a poinsettia at Xmas, so there ACE, and I have learnt to spell it, even though I had to look it up. I suppose ACE is so miserable cause he had to give up smoking, what it not to like about a poinsettia. I also have a couple of orchids on the same window ledge, but they don't like too good, maybe I should stop watering them.
