Help with my plant please.?

I cannot seem to keep a croton alive. The leaves keep falling off. Am I overwatering or underwatering? Does it need to be misted? I have it in a west window.

Help with my plant please.?
This plant needs warmth %26amp; reasonable humidity.Where cool and drafty, or air is dry, most lightly the leaves will fall. Give maxium light, but avoid direct sunlight.
Reply:Take it out of your window %26amp; of course it needs 2 be misted
Reply:Crotons grow in a tropical environment. I have them in the garden and in pots. They don't grow too well indoors for lengthy periods.


Why does my eye burn???

My right eye is burning SO bad. It's been burning for the last three days, and it's worse today. Yesterday, my sister brought home house plants. Is it an allergy? Could it be something else?





The plants were: an orchid, a croton, and a bromelaid. I looked them all up, and it doesn't look like they cause burning/itchy eyes.





It feels like someone just sprayed pepper spray into my right eye, and it's felt like that all day!

Why does my eye burn???
You need to rinse your eye with a lot of water. If that does not help, you should buy some eye wash at the pharmacy. Is your eye red? You could see a doctor for this as well.





Note that the Croton plant has a white sap that can be very irritating to mucus membranes.

Dividing large tropical houseplants?

i recently bout some nice large tropicals, like a dieffenbachia(dumbcane) and a croton, there are bout four separate plants in each pot , can i divide them up? it is spring so i thought bout doing it cause they are to big

Dividing large tropical houseplants?
not a good idea.


they have been growing together a long time and the roots are all tangled together.


since you just got them recently it would be better to leave them in the pots they came in for a while so you know any stress that they may have is from your new care not from having their roots ripped apart.





it will not hurt the plants to be growing together at all. both plants actually do better when a little root bound.

ok well u r nearly 15... i wouldnt tell him i know its lying etc, but still... i mean 4 years is alot 3 years just makes it sound that much better lol ;) good luck!!
Reply:You should tell him... you don't want to start your relationship out on a lie. He probably won't care... seriously. I mean if he thinks he's dating a 15 yo than he's not going to care if your really 14. Tell him though... he may not trust you if he finds out on his own someday.
Reply:As long as u dont get involved like sexually, its like all legal, but make sure that this guy doesnt wanna just get in ur pants. See ur still nieve, and even though you think you understand, he's more expierienced than you. But if he treats u w/ respect, and you just see eachother occasionally, i dont think its 2 bad. But just be carefull.
Reply:im 14 too but either way hes too old for you whether u were 14 or 15 so it shouldnt matter

Where should I say I from?

I'm 18 and I was born in brooklyn, Ny and moved to Yonkers when I was 4. Since my dad still lived in Brooklyn I would go there every other weekend and summers. When I was 10 I moved to Croton-on-Hudson (in westchester county ). Then when I was 12 I moved to Georgia. After I just turned 18 I moved to Pheonix. Now, when people asked me where am I from what do I say? or what do I say when someone asks me i where grew up? or is it the same thing? If somene ask I usually say NY and then they ask what part and don't know I should say if I am from Yonkers or Brooklyn. I usually say Brooklyn though.

Where should I say I from?
I grew up in MA, lived in ME, moved to CA.





People in CA ask me where I'm from when they want to know in which city I live. I ask them to specify whether they mean where I was born/raised or where I currently live.





If I were you, regarding the question from the "where were you born/raised?" perspective, I'd just say NYC but moved to GA when you were twelve. Most people you meet won't differentiate between NYC and NY state, let alone different counties and boroughs. If they do ask which part of NY you can say you spent time in Brooklyn, Yonkers, and Croton-on-Hudson.





The only people who will really care which part of NY you identify with are other people from NY. Others are usually perfectly satisfied with a more general answer.





If you feel a stronger sense of belonging to any one place then that is where you are from. It's where your heart is from.
Reply:Which place do you relate most closely to? I would use that, then explain further if asked or the situation warrants it.





Many people say something along the line of "New York but I live in arizona now".

Which is at your preference out of these indoor plants? Why?

Croton


Fern

Which is at your preference out of these indoor plants? Why?
Ferns not only look delicate, they also require delicate care. Ferns are a little too fussy for me. Crotons are delightfully very attractive because of the bright multi-colorings, and they come in a variety of shapes. Leaves may be green, yellow, red, purple, bronze, pink or any combination of these colors. As long as you provide tropical conditions - bright light, warm temperature, humidity, plenty of water, your plant will be happy and will give you a nice living display in your house. See picture of one: http://www.citrusheightsflorist.com/cate...
Reply:Croton ..It has bold rich colors but it needs bright light which I don't have so I grow them under lights.
Reply:Both are good . I always thought that the more variety in the plants, the better.
Reply:both are good croton for color fern for leaf shape and different shades of green

Is my plant going to be OK?

While my roommate was moving out of my apartment, long story short, he dropped his bike on my croton houseplant. It had 3 woody shoots coming from the soil, but one of them was cut in half. I'm very upset about this. Will that shoot ever grow back? Do you know how I could help the croton with fertilization to produce another one? It's been with me for nearly 2 years, I couldn't stand to throw it away. Is there anything I can do? I'd hate to have to get rid of something I invested so much care and time into. Thanks.

Is my plant going to be OK?
I think it will be just fine, plants can recover from this sort of injury. What you could do is get some sharp scissors or secateurs and cut the broken stem back to the nearest leaf. This will remove any damaged tissue and prevent die back in the stem. Then just let the plant do its thing, pretty soon it will send out auxiliary shoots from the sides of the stem. You can remove any unwanted shoots at this stage so it will have as many branches as you want.





In my opinion, houseplants do not need to be fertilised at all, they benefit more from being re-potted into fresh soil every few years. But if you really want to fertilise use a slow release during the plants growing season and be extremely sparing.
Reply:Why, yes, it should be just fine. It'll take it a little while, but, yes, it will grow back, just as if you pull the end off of a leaf (of a living plant of course) it will grow back.


Need houseplant advice?

My houseplant is a Croton. I think I over fed it with Miracle Gro plant food and it is looking in really bad condition. I repotted it in new peat to take the plant out of the contaminated peat it was in.


but my wife thinks the Croton is already dead. I am not sure as though the leaves are limp downwards than they should be they are still green and have not gone brown. I trimmed off the top part off the plant to maybe help.





Is it really dead or am I having false hope it is alive?





This is a photo of the plant http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc156...

Need houseplant advice?
leave in a cool place, not in direct sunlight, dont water. this should bring it back to life..hopefully, water again in a weeks time or until the peat is feeling dry, DO NOT OVER WATER AGAIN.!!!! Use tepid water in the winter.Stand pot on stones/pebble/gravel %26amp; make sure pot base is clear of the water.
Reply:It looks like you've over-watered it. Leave it a few days until the compost has dried before watering it again. In the winter you should only water it very sparingly when the compost is dry. Remember, even though the compost is dry on top, chances are it's still quite damp at the plant's roots. Also, don't feed it with strong food, use a very weak feed, but even then, not until next spring.
Reply:its nice to know u are so concerned about your houseplant but remember its Autumn already and Crotn looses its lustre during this period.at least mines do
Reply:Scratch the woody stem gently with your thumbnail - if it is green underneath the plant is still alive.





I looks ok to me though albeit a bit straggly.
Reply:I am the Harold Shipman of house plants....don't ask me
Reply:just leave it alone in a non harsh environment ie not too much light or draft. do not water cos overwaterings worse than too dry. Give it time - its post shock trauma
Reply:looks like it's still limping along... however... it will not be beautiful again like it's counterpart... I'd use the leafed parts to start new plants and give the main a decent send off....

If I see what I think I see in your photo, then hope is not lost. Are those tiny buds in the notches of the branches of the stem on the right? Regrowth begins almost immediately when a plant has been through something that causes leaves to fall. The plant needs leaves for photosynthesis and regrowth is the most immediate priority and a real sign of recovery.





In any event, you did exactly what you needed to do in order to attempt to rescue the plant.





I won't offer any advice about using care in future with fertilizers. I suspect you learned that all by yourself. :)

For example, in the first paragraph, "ma famille est merveilleuse mais folle". Not "fou", the word "famille" is feminine.


Also, the sentence "meme s'il est de petite taille" is just not right, you use "petite taille" when you are talking about a person or a clothing etc... so the proper way to say it would be "Meme si elle n'est pas trop grande, Croton..."


- Un lion est un animal sauvage et vicieux. Il a des dents tres acerees.


In front of the word "Gentillesse", you should always put "La". So, It should be "la gentillesse"...That whole paragraph needs a lot of work....


"Je voudrais voyager en Afrique", it's better to say " J'aimerais visiter l'Afrique". The rest of that Paragraph is good.

Am I doing this right?

I'm trying to get a free mamey croton. What I mean is I recently found out that you can break a stem off a already mature croton, plant it and it will re-birth a totally new plant. I think that's frikin awesome, so I went to lowes, bought a little pot, and some miracle grow potting mix. My apartment has TONES of crotons (duh, they are nice looking hardy plants) so I broke off a little branch and planted it...the thing is I'm just worried I did it wrong or it wont last...





It's kind of loose in the soil, and it leans because of the more blooms on one side...but will it work? It;'s night time that's why it's under a lamp. Another thing I'm wondering is this croton branch I took was outside...but I'm trying to make it an indoor plant is it going to be hard to condition it to be an indoor plant?

Am I doing this right?
You can root crotons easily. Look up Croton Mania web-site. It has really good information on cuttings. I found the best results were when I removed all the leaves. The cutting soon made new leaves. Hormone rooting powder helps too. You should have no trouble with growing them indoor as long as they get good natural light. Good Luck.


P.S. Takes about four weeks to root, plant several together for better impact.

Will my crotons live?

I am in FL. We had one night of freeze last month and I didn't cover my big beautiful croton bush. All of the leaves have fallen off and it is not growing new leaves. Is it done? Or can I get it back somehow?

Will my crotons live?
Dropping leaves is common for crotons that have been damaged by cold weather. If the croton is close to a building or trees it may have survived despite some damage. Where in Florida do you live? I'm near Orlando, I just peeked at my crotons and there are new leaf buds showing already, if you live further north, your crotons may not have buds yet. Crotons can be killed by long periods of cold weather, but mine have survived some hard freezes....mainly because they are close to a wall at my house.





We're expecting cold weather again this week. I'd wait for another week or two, and then give the croton a heavy pruning. March is the best time to do heavy pruning, after the threat of freezes has past. Be sure to water the bush once a week to help it along, and fertize it during March. You should know within a month if the croton has survived.
Reply:Thanks! Good luck! Report It

Reply:they should be back by April when it will get more warm during the night. or the plants were too old to start with so I would replace them around the same time (April).

What causes a white powdery covering on the underside of croton plant leaves?

White thrip or mealy bugs. They suck the sap out of the plants. You can spray them with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or wipe them off with soapy water. My experience is that this condition is terminal--very very frustrating.
