My duck foot croton had become very lanky and dull. after a lot of thought I pruned it , I completely depleted the plant of the leaves. After a good two weeks it is showing some signs of green.
I love this plant and its flower so much , My mom had one. I bought this plant online , It is supposed to bear red coloured flowers but has not flowered at all. It probably needs more sunlight. Atleast four to five hours of direct sunlight My balcony doesn't get that much sunlight still waiting that it will soon flower.
I live in Chennai and unfortunately my balcony receives direct sunlight only for a few hours a day and if that is not enough . A tree on the opposite side of the road has it branches almost near my balcony not allowing Sunlight to a large section of the balcony. Here is my propagation station with cutting from a croton plant I just pruned , A money plant and a croton cutting from a huge plant I saw when I was travelling. They all seem to be good so far. Can see small roots starting and this is the first time I am propagating crotons in water so excited to see how it goes.
