Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large clean dry bowl with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until thick and opaque, about 1 more minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until stiff shiny peaks form, about 5 more minutes.
- Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 1/2-inch drops that are just touching to form about twenty-four 2- to 3-inch cookies. Bake at 250 degrees F until dry and crisp, 3 to 4 hours. Let cool.

Tips:
- Choose the right poinsettia: Look for plants with deep green leaves and brightly colored bracts. Avoid plants with wilted or yellowing leaves.
- Give your poinsettia plenty of light: Place it in a spot where it will receive bright, indirect light for at least six hours per day.
- Water your poinsettia regularly: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry.
- Fertilize your poinsettia every two weeks: Use a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Keep your poinsettia away from drafts: Cold drafts can damage the leaves and bracts.
- Don't let your poinsettia get too hot: Poinsettias prefer temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prune your poinsettia after the holidays: Cut back the stems to about 6 inches long. This will encourage new growth and help the plant to bloom again next year.
Conclusion:
Poinsettias are beautiful plants that can add a festive touch to your home during the holidays. With proper care, they can last for many weeks. By following these tips, you can help your poinsettia thrive and enjoy its beauty for as long as possible.
