Rebecca,

Where do you live? City and state so I know your climate then I will tell you how to handle your poinsettia.

Answer
Rebecca,

Poinsettias are from Mexico. They need to be in a sunny location. Once you dig a hole and plant it in the ground you only need to water if it is very dry, however they can't stand frost so if you get frost in your area I would leave it in a pot in a sunny location. The following website has complete instructions on care if you decide to keep it in a pot.

If you have more questions after looking at that website feel free to write again. Good luck.
