Croton Propagation Tips And Techniques
23.08.2023 - 02:03 / gardeningknowhow.com / Mary Ellen Ellis
Crotons are popular tropical houseplants that are most noted for their striking, colorful foliage. They can also be grown outdoors in subtropical and tropical climates. Because they’re so beautiful, you might want more. Propagating croton plants is easy. There are two options: cuttings and air layering.
If you love your croton and its beautiful colors, why not create more? Croton plant propagation is simple, although it does tend to root slowly. With patience, you’ll get new plants to keep or share.
A stem cutting is an easy and straightforward way to propagate a favorite croton plant. Take a cutting that is about 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 13 cm) long and that has at least 3 leaves on it.
Use a standard rooting hormone for the best results. Dip the cut end of the stem into the hormone powder and plant it in a small container with good quality soil. Keep the soil consistently moist. Don’t let it dry out, but also avoid letting it get soaking wet.
Keep your cutting in a sunny spot with consistently warm temperatures, about 70 to 80 degrees F (21-27 C). As long as it stays within this range, the cutting should start to grow roots within a month.
Wait to transplant the cutting until it has some established roots. You should also see some new growth. Young leaves are green and only develop their striking colors as they mature.
Air layering is another technique for propagating plants that works with croton. This is a great technique for a large houseplant that has become leggy and could benefit from more branching. It’s not best for a small plant.
Air layering croton and other plants involves growing new roots before making a cutting. When you do this on croton, you get a new plant and encourage a new branch to make the original plant

Stand up for Ancient Trees #CelebrateSpring
One of the great joys of spring is seeing trees leaf out and bloom. They bring so much joy, and do so much for us, and yet are rarely valued as they should be. In particular, ancient trees are wondrous, magical things. Impressive and complex structures, they have lots of nooks and crannies in which wildlife can find a home. As fungi feed on the tree they provide food for woodland creatures, and a hollowed out trunk provides shelter. Although ancient trees are in the final stage of their life, and technically in decline, they have a lot to give, and can go on living for a long time, depending on the species.
