No, acidity does not harm poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).
Specifically, poinsettias are acid-loving plants. They prefer to grow in soils whose pH ranges from the acidic to the lower reaches of the neutral zone, from 4.5 to 6.5. In fact, a quite acidic soil pH below 4.8 protects poinsettias from the dreaded black rot (Thielaviopsis basicole) to which they are so susceptible.

Does apple cider vinegar hurt poinsettias?
No, apple cider vinegar does not hurt poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).Specifically, apple cider vinegar is acidic, and poinsettias are acid-loving plants. They prefer soil pH ranges between 4.5 and 6.5, that is, between the quite acidic to the lower limits of the neutral zone that so many ornamentals favor. Apple cider vinegar is quite effective at sanitizing soil, and poinsettias are sensitive to less than sanitary conditions. So poinsettias like their soil acidic and clean, and apple cider vinegar fits the bill on both counts.
