We have one, but no pets.

We'll get leapt on by our son's dogs on Christmas Eve. One always wants to sit beside or on one of us when we visit. I just hope the cat doesn't bring us s gift. 🤢

A few years back the Poinsettia was a very popular Christmas plant.. You could buy it in different colours..
I haven't noticed it so much in recent years..

Supermarkets certainly always had them. Don't recall if I've seen them or not of late

They're in all the supermarkets, a friend gave me one last week they're lovely but the leaves drop so quickly - and yes I've watered it  :x16:

The fact they get sold every year suggests they can't be good survivors.

Overwatering kills them.
