Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia))

I love Poinsettias, but they are so tricky to keep.....this one is beginning to shrivel underneath after just a week......:o(

Mine are the same Janey, wondering if its the change in temperature from shop to home? I had them last year and no problems they were still in coulour in February.
