poinsettia

I checked on all those houseplant cuttings under plastic, and found the Poinsettia has a new green leaf. It looked worst of them all before, and even now the two largest, lower leaves withered and yellowing. I trimmed the last one off, and added more soil  to the pot, which covered those nodes. Maybe they'll grow new roots and make it even stronger. I'm not too surprised this is the only one doing well; the others only have a leaf petiole stuck in the dirt, no real stem to regenerate from.
