I received this cream colored poinsettia for Christmas. It looks like there are 3 in 1 pot.
I don't know what to do. I figure it needs repotting & maybe pruning...?
Most of the leaves fell off by Christmas, but they seem to be coming back. We're a bit worried about leaving it inside because we have cats.

Hey Y'all!
I hope everyone's projects are going well. I was away from my collection for the first third of the month, but I still managed to do 9 manicures.
For this project, I picked 26 polishes to wear 4x each & am panning 3 toppers. So far this year, I have done 42 manicures, so I am right at 40% to my goal.
Right now, I am guesstimating I should have all 104 manicures done by early October!
This month, I focused on a pearly white (photo 1 & 2) & a minty blue creme (photo 3 & 4). I played around with some gradients, which really made a dent in the minty blue. I broke a nail yesterday & decided to forgo a patch & just file everything down, so I didn't have to use as much polish on my manicure this morning as I normally would. Which means, I probably still have enough in the bottle for a pedicure. This particular polish is fairly thin already, so it's not gunky at all & still usable. If there is anything left after I do my pedi, I'm going to add it to another polish I've already rolled out of this project to lighten the color a bit.
My toppers are still moving steadily, for the most part (photo 5). The star topper is starting to get thick, so I've added some thinner. I used it 3x this month, but once I added the thinner, the fill line rose back to last month's line. That's OK. I know the aqua topper will probably be done either in May or June, so I will be focusing solely on the star & gold topper after that.
The last 2 photos are my monthly racks. For May, I'm going to focus on the white & orange polishes on the top row. Both of them have already been used twice, but I had some leftover uses from polishes I panned earlier this year that I added to these. So, they each have 4 more uses. The white is a solar polish, so I'd like to use that before it dies. The orange is a reflective glitter & the fill line moves a lot between each use, so I feel like I'll make a lot of movement on that one.
I also added a matte topcoat as an extra for May! This is to hold myself accountable & actually use it. My goal is 2x!
I want to add that I did make a point to check out the Project Polish flair once I got back from my trip, but it felt too late to comment. But, I did upvote & cheered everyone on slightly. 🎉❤️
I have Phonak Audeo I-90s... I think overall it was a positive experience, but...
1 - my ear canals hurt. I had my audiologist trade out the domes for a smaller size & they still hurt. It feels like sharp hard plastic in my ear.
2 - I've noticed some static when I try to turn up the volume. My audiologist set it at 90% volume for my prescription. I've also noticed static when my app does this Bluetooth + mic setting (see photo). This isn't an option I have & it only pops up occasionally when I open the app. There is also static when I open random apps on my phone, it stops when I close the app.
I really don't like the static... It's distracting.
I'll probably reach out to my audiologist, but the office is really frustrating to deal with. I don't have another appt until may, which I don't like.
