I have a croton that is about 1m tall. for the past 2 years it has hs very unusal bushy tip growth. the stem has grown to be about 5cm X 1/2cm wide kind of like a fan but with multiple new growth all over the top of it. the plant looks healthy but is very strange.
It is a fine leafed croton which i grew from a cutting. i have others of this type, but they all appear normal. Could it be a chromosomal mix up? I have checked it for disesae and it appears fine
Croton with fan shaped stem?
a 1m tall croton? thats a big salad!
Reply:It's more likely a hormonal problem, or physical/insect-damaged growing tip that has caused the lateral gowth. I wouldn't worry about it, enjoy the novel form.
