    Maybe it’s too dry. It seems to be near a window. Does it get sunlight on the leaves directly? Methinks the sun cooks the leaves and they dry up. Shame since it seems those are the red ones disappearing! Try to find a way to increase moisture around your poinsettia or move it to a spot where it doesn’t get direct sun right next to a window.
