Poinsetta problems!

I was given a poinsetta and it's just turning into a couple of leafless sticks in a pot. I've kept it moist but not sopping. I know years ago I had one I kept going a couple of years but don't have the slightest idea how. What do these things need?!

I think it should get a bit of sunlight...have you put it in a spot for that to be possible?

It gets indirect sunlight. Years ago I had a huge one that I kept going for a couple years, as I recall it had to be in the closet for a while to turn red? Maybe that was something else.

Yes I think that's right.
