The foliage on last years poinsietta plant has come back nicely.
There are no lights on at night in my wife's office. In the day time there is
natural and florescent lighting. Will this light/dark condition bring back the
floral bracts?
This is in zone 5/6.

No, it won't work.
Euphorbia pulcherrima is a short day plant.
Do a Google search for the all too many websites with info on how to grow
and bloom the plant before doing something stupid.
The zone is irrelevant.

I think the zone would be relavant. As an indication of when it is dark and
when it is light.
But then, what the f*@k do I know. If I knew the answer to the question, I
wouldn't have posted it.

Hardiness zones tell you nothing of the sort at all.

Zone 5 is a band extending from parts of Canada all the way down to
parts of New Mexico. Latitude will tell you something about day
length, but the zone isn't terribly useful without additional
information.
