I know I probably should have cut this stem a long time ago but just can't bring myself to do it! So she may not be as bushy as she should be but great to see she has her dinosaur pattern back this summer! 🦕🌳☀️ #croton #gardencroton #dinosaurplant #codiaeumvariegatum

crotons can be leaf propagated & stem. remove green stemed top buy bending to snap. remove lower leaves so there is 1inch stem. dip in rooting hormone.make hole / pencil.firm soil around stem.place in bright location out of direct sun. may have to cover / plastic bag to keep hummid. leaves trim stem so1/2 " ,dip and stick in moist soil making hole / pencil. good luck

Hi GTs! 👋 Any ideas why my #croton has grown so tall & stick like? 🤔🤔 I got a couple as presents for friends last year and theirs are more bushier from the base (just like in the ID tag pic) #help #advice

Lower leaf drop happens when stressed for various reasons. You can cut back when lower stem starts showing signs of regrowth @mzambz
