Every year I hear this, is it poin sett e a or poin set a ? (Sounds like). Now I have to go look it up to know for sure. LOL

I never pay much attention to how I say it....I think I say it both ways!!!! Depending on my mood, I guess!!!!

It says, it's the first way, 4 syllables, ends sounding of ahh, not long A.

And the great debate continues.😁 The first one I believe is correct, but feel free to pronounce it whichever way you like.😊

My dad, for a joke, used to say po in set a..........Miss him terribly.

I was taught in school it is poin-sett-e-ah. Third syllable is a long e. Cambridge dictionary pronounces it the same way in U.S and UK.

I grew up hearing it pronounced point set ah. I got a beautiful little pink one this season and it's holding up great, must be some kind of hybrid.

I miss not having one for the Holidays

I pronounce it using four syllables, but I also hear some people use three syllables. I think either is acceptable.
I love the way they look, but I have never been successful with keeping them alive. Does anyone have any hints for how to care for them?
A friend sent me a Zygo Cactus (also known as Christmas Cactus) five years ago, and I have had success with that one. It is still alive and growing nicely.

I recieved one (years and years ago)........in pink. It lasted on my mantle indoors for about 5 years. Kept blooming and blooming and blooming those beautiful pinkish-red leaves.
Couldn't believe it.
Guess I was just lucky.
