christmas poinsetta problems

Hi,
I have a poinsettia that i was trying to keep as a houseplant.
Its about 18 months old. In the summer I put the plant outside were it lost its large leaves and replaced them with much smaller ones ( about one quarter the size ) and a light green versus the dark green on the large leaves.
Winter time I brought it back in house and only a few miniature leaves remain. Its cold were I live and occasionally the summer night temperature will drop below 50 degree's. I put the plant under a fluorescent light all winter with no improvement . there are only a few leaves that remain.

Is it possible to get this plant to bring back its large leaves ?

And why do I have miniature leaves now ?

Thanks for any replies
