Croton image, beginning, features
The crotch house plant is also referred to as the cynomium, it is accepted to count these names as synonyms without delay. However, from a scientific point of view, it is quite clear that the second one is quite clear. Crotons - a family of more than a thousand species of tropical shrubs and trees. Their closest relatives, they are in the same family Molochaevye, - codices. According to the latest data, in this genus only 17 species of evergreens. And just one of them, codaeme variegatum, (Codiaeum variegatum) is adapted to the home conditions. Specifically, his gardeners are accustomed to summon the croton.
Croton is a tropical plant, he's used to a warm and wet climate
Codyeum comes from the tropical forests of southeast Asia (distributed in India, Malaysia, Indonesia) and the islands of Oceania and Australia. The climate in these parts is mild, the temperature does not fall below +25, the rains are plentiful, but not long, and the bottom is always slightly moist. Hence the plant fell in love with higher humidity and a very warm, even hot, atmosphere.
According to one version, The old people who inhabited the Moluccas Islands (Indonesia). According to another, the natural scientist Karl Linnaeus gave him the name of the Italian town of Crotone, who in turn was named in honor of the ancient Greek hero.
In the croton (coda), like all members of the Molochaev family, milky juice. He is poisonous for the sake of man and animals. Milk of a croton can provoke vomiting, diarrhea, an explosion of the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to comply with safety rules: throw gloves first work, and then wash their hands and tools. The plant must exist inaccessible for the sake of small children and animals.
For freedom, the coda grows above 3 meters.
In the natural environment the croton grows upward for 3 meters and more. Domestic plants are sometimes above one and a half meters, and eat and small forms before 60 cm. Usually, it is an erect bush with the foliage of leathery foliage. The appearance of the leaf blade is marked by an abundance of options: elongated or very narrow curvature, an ellipse with a pointed or rounded end, two or three blades. In some species of croton spiral, wavy or intricately curved foliage. Its color is more fanciful. For one plant, it is allowed to see different colors of greenery, as well as yellow, reddish, pink and purple, burgundy plan. The decoration and brightness of the ornament painted by nature depend on the criterion of the content of the flower and age. The more light and the older the croton,
The older the croton bush, the more diverse and captivating its coloring.
A mature croton can be a good care to blossom. However, it is impossible to compete with the foliage of foliage inflorescence. They resemble a bunch and arise in the axils of the leaves, each one 10 or 10 small whitish flowers. They are divided for men, consisting of stamens and similar pompon balls, and ladies - curved pistils. For a brush florets tokmo 1-th floor, but they open up at once. Flowering cool mint weakens, then the profit slows down for 3-4 months. Therefore, at home, flower stems are usually removed.
Male croton flowers are balls from stamens, they are pretty, but they take abundant strength from the plant.
Croton Nicholas was not considered ordinary for the sake of feeding a species. He always used the reputation of a capricious and demanding plant. This elegant handsome man is infinitely accustomed to a new place, can become sick at a later time after transplantation, asks for abundant light and high humidity for a full year, does not tolerate cold and drafts.
Cody (croton) has become easier to grow at home, immediately eat appliances, moisturize the atmosphere, and special lamps for the sake of plants
These requirements were difficult to fulfill in advance. However, without delay, the gardeners have accumulated a secured attempt to feed the whimsical Croton and successfully use it. Help to fulfill the vagaries of plants and modern appliances. In order that the atmosphere became in the tropical wet, it is possible to extract an electric humidifier or a room fountain. A small light day is extended by special lamps. However, even such technical support for croton will not do without constant attention, it needs to accurately wipe the leaves, make a bush, protect it through temperature changes and pests. This plant suits the caring and diligent gardeners.
Croton asks for a lot of attention and burden through the gardener

Often specialty stores offer plants with the name of the cuneum (or croton) variegatum mix. This is not a quality, but a hint for the fact that in the party specimens of this variety are collected. Their color depends on the criterion and age of the leaves. For no reason that the same plant can look different. And even specialists sometimes find it difficult to identify a sort of croton apparel.

Conditions for the sake of the Croton (list)
Time is right Explanation Humidity Temperature SpringBrilliant, bewildered aristocracy. A small number of direct sunlight is useful. They will make the coloring brighter.
The best room for the location of the croton is the window sills for the east or west, the southern side, however in some distance through the windows.
The hot midday sun should shade
Accurate (in the heat and be turned on heating 2 times a day) spray the plant.
Wash the leaves.
Moisten the atmosphere by all methods:
Set the plant to a pallet with moistened pebbles or moss.
Use a double pot - the gap between the walls of the inner and outer pots is filled with peat or moss,Continuously keep it wet.
Place closely open containers with water, a private fountain or an electric humidifier. Moderate and slightly overpriced. Normally + 20-25 degrees.
In warm weather, age is allowed to endure for a new atmosphere, however, save through a draft, significant temperature changes and a cool wind. Summer AutumnColorful, scattered.
The light day is forced to continue more 12 hours if the leaves lose a colorful coloring. Moderate, slightly reduced, + 18-20 degrees. Below + 17 is unacceptable.
Do not place near by the heating devices and to the cool window glass.
Keep a flat temperature, without changes. Winter
Leaf cleanliness - health tab
Croton is pure, he can get sick because of the fact that the leaves are covered with dust. Why is a wet cleaning really unreasonable?
style="text -align: Dusty film slows the action of photosynthesis, the plant suffers from a lack of nutrients.
Dust may have harmful substances .
In order to wipe the croton with wavy or curly leaves, patience is necessary, but this proudly for the sake of plant health Therefore, at least once a week, take a soft mokrovatuyu napkin and wipe the croton, admiring the variegated patterns. Better in the first half of the day, so that before the night the plant withered.
For the sake of greater beauty it is allowed to give the leaves a gloss. The property for polishing is better to take in aerosol packaging. Or try folk recipes. Polish the leaves with beer, a weak substance of vinegar or milk. Do not touch the young foliage. And adult polish careful, do not press great, so as not to cause injury.
Skin leaves look great polishing afterwards
The capacity is filled with drainage material (stones + charcoal), porous soil substrate with a huge sand content .
Planting moisturize, cover with a lid or a simple glass, put in a warm and bright room.
Plants of the fllorarium themselves make a safe local climate.
At times, there is condensation, ventilate the mini jungle.
in pretty months, arrange the plants rain and cleaning is carried out in florariume: Inspect pets, remove the damaged leaves, according to the need to add the substrate .
For florariuma Pick up p Walls with similar habits

A multi-valued croton is an immaculate plant for the sake of the florarium. In order not to have problems with leaving, it is allowed to plant different varieties. This"garden"sour will not work. Excellent neighbors for the sake of the croton ferns, mana, fittonia, rheo, selaginella. Do not plant succulents and cacti with them.
Closed Florarium sometimes refers to a park in a bottle. Its essence is a reward through open - capacity with a narrow enough neck, which is tightly locked. Then planting a bottle garden watered only once, and later clogged and did not open. Plants live in a closed ecosystem. Closed Florarium is not the election chosen for the sake of the Croton. He has extremely large leaves. <
Croton is suitable for cultivation in an open florarium, for the sake of a garden in a bottle it is large ...

Croton's lacy foliage looks pretty good for a bonsai tree. This opinion probably overshadows the gardeners. And such bonsai are grown. However, with great difficulty and loss. The Croton has quite a few properties that make it unsuitable for this:
extremely large and heavy leaves
the plant does not tolerate the transplant, but for the sake of bonsai it's a yearly action; < From a croton it is allowed to bring up a bonsai, but it's hard, and the result does not always cheer up
Planting and transplanting <> Croton is not good at transplanting. Consequently, the young plant is transplanted, and more precisely, a large (2-3 cm) pot is introduced, after a year, and adults through 2-3 years or less.
In order to bring up a huge bush of the coding, it will have to be transplanted every 1-2 years.
If the bush has grown much, and you do not want it to be larger, it's enough to change 5-6 cm of soil from the top of the pot. The renewal of the earth must, if the ancient one has already turned white through the salts or is extremely compacted.
It's time to change the soil in the pot with this croton, it has a sick visibility
Clay and plastic pots are suitable for the croton. However, the growing colors are rather better in plastic, so that it is easier to care because of the state of the root system. But adult grown crotones are more suitable for pottery from pottery. It is heavy and stable, and it's proud: because of the bulky crown, the plant can fall. In addition, natural ceramics absorbs salts,
Cromton needs a heavy and reliable clay pot
Select approximately the same height and width of the pot. Direct attention to drainage holes, they should exist large. Before landing, if necessary, install a pedestal for the sake of a croton.
Large specimens are not transplanted, they are partly updated from above.
Croton is accustomed to the green, but porous and light soil. Example compounds:
common ground for indoor plants, it is permissible to add soil for the sake of orchids and charcoal a mash of compost, leaf land, peat and sand in equal parts;
for 2 parts of leaf land, one peat, according to the whole of the humus and sand, for the sake of airy cut moss sphagnum;
for two parts of leafy land according to one part of humus, peat, sand. About a quarter of the pot is forced to master small pebbles. It will help to remove excess water through the roots. As a drainage material suitable expanded clay, a child of reddish bricks, polystyrene, vermiculite. Before planting the soil and small pebbles must be sterilized, the pot must be scalded with boiling water. <
For the bottom of the pot, put a drainage discharge.
Top the soil fraction, moisten it. li>
Take the plant out of the old pot cautious, without breaking a piece of ground with roots.
During the transplant try to preserve the integrity of the land coma
Inspect the roots that have decayed carefully.
Move the plant to an all-time pot.
The ground piece is evenly covered with new soil, sealing the void between it and the wall of the pot. In the process, just shake the container, so as not to leave the empty areas.
Pour a little plant, sprinkle it and put a shaded warm room in a bit.
After a week, return to the unchanged premise, look after, like usual. <> Croton painfully shifts the shift pot. In order to help him, add to the irrigation water once a week the product for rooting (Kornevin, Zirkon, Epin, EcoGel).
Then the croton transplant experiences stress, treat it more closely than usual
Protection Virtually all varieties of the indoor croton have powerful dense leaves and against a narrow trunk. This imbalance is not visible at a young age. However, with age, the crown becomes richer, and the trunk does not have time to increase the authority and is tilted about its weight. So that the plant does not break, you need protection. For the sake of start, bamboo or other wood sticks come up. It is permissible to bribe the support for the sake of a vine (a stick relative to coconut fiber) or to do something from improvised materials.
Protection should help the croton not to bend over the weight of the crown
Like to choose a healthy plant
When choosing a croton in the store, direct attention to the coloring of the foliage. In a healthy plant, it is colorful, mostly vividly veined. Look at the position of the leaves. They look upwards for the makovka or are almost parallel to the soil beneath the trunk - this is order. Badly hanging - a sign of the disease. Carefully examine leaf blades: dents, dry spots, dots - probably, traces left by pests. Check the trunk, if it is for him to eat holes, it shows for the one that the croton takes off the leaves. Make sure that the piece of land in good condition - not overdried and not flooded. If you have found anxious symptoms, you better refuse through the purchase of a croton.
This plant is obviously insulting, the leaves do not hang in a healthy croton. Just the croton you just bought, 2 weeks in quarantine, allow him to adapt in a brand new house. And just later, transplant. Full transporting ground is necessary, if difficulties are found: rottenness, souring, pests. If nothing, save the roots, leaving the soil.
Video: the question according to the flower transplant
Large leaves evaporate abundantly water . Consequently, Croton loves soft and a little warm water, and in spring and summer abundant watering. It is proud to save the balance and not to extinguish the plant. Extra moisture leads to rotting of the roots. Water the croton in the time of active growth, if the earth's high level will dry out for 1-2 cm.
In the autumn, cut the watering. And in winter, wait if the bottom is calm for more than 2 days, and just water it. Adhere to the rule: the cooler the atmosphere, the more modestly watering. However, do not overdry the land coma. If the bottom is completely dry, the croton will hang the leaves. Reward them in ordinary goods is allowed: make watering by immersing the pot and sprinkle the plant. <> Croton is sensitive not only to the quality of water, but also to its temperature. It must exist either standing or filtered, a little heated. Watered with cool water, the croton can cramp.
In spring and summer, twice a month, fertilize the colorful pet with mineral top dressing. Pay homage to their number. Potassium is more useful for the brightest leaves of the plant. Nitrogen badly influences their coloring. In winter, Croton also needs food. However, it's time to carry out fertilizing a little once a month and reduce the dose of nutrient solution. Apply the fertilizer then watering, so as not to harm the roots.
The croton is useful, mainly if it is capricious, the catalysts of growth (Epin, Zircon, Uniflor Barysh). They are not used more often than 2 times in a month, it is allowed to spray with a substance or pour.
Видео: кротон радуется поливу
Бездействие и зимняя подсветка
Ясный выраженного периода покоя у кротона несть, он простой останавливает барыш с приходом холодов и уменьшением светового денька. Наилучшая температура ради зимовки +18–20. Ниже — уже гибельно ради ласкового кротона. А он и беспричинно мучается без солнца. Поможет перезимовать ему искусственное повышение светового денька перед 12–14 часов.
If you extend the light day in winter, the croton will continue to increase the foliage
Near croton lamps it is enough to increase motley leaves in winter. For illumination purposes, incandescent lamps are not suitable. The plant needs LED lamps of a warm range, they give the greatest effect. A bit worse than phyto-lamps, gas-discharge lighting devices or ordinary fluorescent.
Education So that the Croton retains a cute visibility for long and long years, he needs constant pruning, spend it according to the spring, while the plant does not originate an active profit. Upper shoots shorten, causing the lateral buds to unfold. The main one once the young croton is plucked if its profit is only 15-17 cm. Later every 20 cm. A 40 cm high plant is advised to extract, the cut branches become cuttings for the sake of reproduction.
The spring pruning of the croton awakens the side buds
Do not forget to wear protective gloves before pruning the croton. The milky juice of the plant is poisonous, however it lively tightens the wound. For greater safety, they can be sprinkled with sulfur powder or coal. <> Haircut also has a hygienic nature: remove dried twigs, eaten by pests. However, the croton is not always aware of the weight of the procedure and begins to be unbalanced. In order to fly the spirit and tone of the plant, spray it, it is allowed with the catalyst, and cover with the package. The mini-greenhouse will help the croton to get used to the newest form.
Care errors and their elimination (list)
Dissolve Epin in warm water. Sprinkle the plant a lot.
Put it in the part and tie it.
Remove the night in a warm room, if in the day - then in the shaded.
Remove the part within 10-12 hours, put the pot in a warm, light, without the direct sun, place.
Water according to the degree of drying of the soil, very little. If leaves do not, then the moisture practically does not evaporate. To eat the risk of waterlogging of the earth.
Then the side buds should awaken.
check the well of the roots and trunk. The barrel dries - resuscitation is unlikely to help.

Diseases and pests (list)
Like to recognize?Which harms? Which act?Brown plaques below the foliage, along the veins. >Capitulation by the scabbard. Remove the pest by hand. Then sprinkle the croton with an insecticide (Actellik). Treat the treatment until you destroy the entire scab. Yellow spots for the leaves. They wither and fall. A visible suit is the network A sagging mite. Remove the leaves affected by the pest. Treat the plant - a systemic insecticide, phytopharm or derris. Spray more often. The mite does not like higher humidity. Leaves wilt, wilt, die. Capitulation by root rot. Remove the plant from the ground, remove the damage, treat the roots with a fungicide and activated charcoal. Later, plant in an unprecedented land. Preventing rottenness: plant the plant in a sterilized substrate, do not allow the soil to become wet.
Croton in most cases propagate by cuttings, less often seeds or air layers.
Cutting
Spend it in the spring, usually afterwards, cutting the plants. Rooting will be better in a greenhouse with heating.
Remove the bottom leaves, cut the top half.
wash the milky juice in running water.
Treat the cuttings with a rooting agent and sprinkle the slices with coal. Soak them for 2 hours for air.
Dump the cuttings in a moistened light substrate (peat + dust).
For the sake of rooting an easy substratum is needed,
Close the greenhouse cover, keep the temperature at + 25-28 degrees.
Put it in the light, without direct sun , a place.
For rooting it takes 2-3 weeks. Then plant the cuttings in separate pots with a nutrient substrate.
Then rooting transplant the young croton into the nutrient soil
Some gardeners convince the croton to manage to produce leaves. They are buried in the soil and covered with a packet. Seedling sometimes sprinkled, watered, kept in partial shade. After 2-3 months grow roots. All the experience will not work if there is at least the desire of one kidney for the sake of development of escape. Therefore, the piece of the stem must necessarily be answered together with the sheet.
The leaf that gave the roots does not guarantee that the plant will grow up.
Seeds
Fruit Croton seeds is endless and difficult. It should be taken into account that this method does not preserve parental properties, and seeds lose their vigor fast. <

Gardener's comments
Always use the Croton's additional explanation. In all latitudes. 12-14 watchman a day about 10 Watt LED lamp for meter height through plants - and it's pretty much grow up virtually anywhere. I have pretty good plants, two of which are in bad places (draft), but a brilliant aristocracy (~ 15,000 lux ) - all compensates for the very desire to be faithful lighting, buy a reliable time relay, and do not trust the inclusion of the backlight to your own schedule. neznaika

I had the main croton to work in the office. The only issue I faced was the mite, who attacked him exactly. And he grew up without reason, looked great. Later I was given a croton for the birthday. I left him at home. And it grows great and very beautiful. Consequently, I took out discounted crochets without fear in the greenhouse. Natalie
http://forum-flower.ru/showthread.php?t=600
Croton, which has grown quite well, collapsed years ago. The roots were not damaged, but then the fall of the cuttings through it disappeared, if they took root, then they were comprehended by the same fate. So much I tormented him, without cause and died. Now I know that the croton do not tolerate flights and tremors. And all that happens to them without cause, above then the transplant began to die, did not like the bottom, I had to promptly evoke the poppy. He sat, thought, and after 3 years later, lateral shoots began to give off unsuccessful transplant. If peat oxide acidifies the soil, then it is allowed to feed. Look at the roots, take them out of the flowerpot. It may exist in the soil to eat pests or earthworms that eat young roots. As I saw, Croton does not like organic fertilizers. It is allowed to risk spilling and spraying with an immunocytophyte, some plants respond well to it. Another croton is very fond of a spider mite, sometimes it does not mean it at all. Then his work as a croton as if for no reason causes the damaged leaves to be discarded.

Croton is allowed to produce a leaf. Even in the autumn. In October I put a simple sheet of an extract in the ground, poured it, tied it in a piece. Put in a little. Sometimes sprayed and watered. And in February, roots have already grown. I do not know if there will be shoots, tk. I multiply the leaf for the first time. In November I reproduced the quality of mammy with a cutting blade. There was a small twig with one sheet. She put the stalk into the water, added rootstones and biohumus. At first, February I planted it in the ground. A couple of weeks later, new leaves appeared. The quality of the Gold Chin Cherenkoval in August was a long branch of 20 cm with the launch of the leaves. Has planted in September. Able, a croton without a break is equal, if the fruit and by what method. Right, biohumus much accelerated the gains of barely rising rootlets. <

Announcements about the Croton! He did not live or die for 7 months. He did not give any signs of life .. he threw away 3 sheets and without a break ... Now he moved him to the southern room, because of tulle, began to water more often (or earlier gave dry hanging out a couple of days until the leaves do not lower) - now it's not .. changed the high level of the earth, added humus .. and then yesterday's spirit !! voila! - to begin at last !!!

In spring and summer, twice a month, fertilize the colorful pet with mineral top dressing. Pay homage to their number. Potassium is more useful for the brightest leaves of the plant. Nitrogen badly influences their coloring. In winter, Croton also needs food. However, it's time to carry out fertilizing a little once a month and reduce the dose of nutrient solution. Apply the fertilizer then watering, so as not to harm the roots.
The croton is useful, mainly if it is capricious, the catalysts of growth (Epin, Zircon, Uniflor Barysh). They are not used more often than 2 times in a month, it is allowed to spray with a substance or pour.

Бездействие и зимняя подсветка
Ясный выраженного периода покоя у кротона несть, он простой останавливает барыш с приходом холодов и уменьшением светового денька. Наилучшая температура ради зимовки +18–20. Ниже — уже гибельно ради ласкового кротона. А он и беспричинно мучается без солнца. Поможет перезимовать ему искусственное повышение светового денька перед 12–14 часов.
If you extend the light day in winter, the croton will continue to increase the foliage
Near croton lamps it is enough to increase motley leaves in winter. For illumination purposes, incandescent lamps are not suitable. The plant needs LED lamps of a warm range, they give the greatest effect. A bit worse than phyto-lamps, gas-discharge lighting devices or ordinary fluorescent.
Education So that the Croton retains a cute visibility for long and long years, he needs constant pruning, spend it according to the spring, while the plant does not originate an active profit. Upper shoots shorten, causing the lateral buds to unfold. The main one once the young croton is plucked if its profit is only 15-17 cm. Later every 20 cm. A 40 cm high plant is advised to extract, the cut branches become cuttings for the sake of reproduction.
The spring pruning of the croton awakens the side buds
Do not forget to wear protective gloves before pruning the croton. The milky juice of the plant is poisonous, however it lively tightens the wound. For greater safety, they can be sprinkled with sulfur powder or coal. <> Haircut also has a hygienic nature: remove dried twigs, eaten by pests. However, the croton is not always aware of the weight of the procedure and begins to be unbalanced. In order to fly the spirit and tone of the plant, spray it, it is allowed with the catalyst, and cover with the package. The mini-greenhouse will help the croton to get used to the newest form.
Care errors and their elimination (list)
Dissolve Epin in warm water. Sprinkle the plant a lot.
Put it in the part and tie it.
Remove the night in a warm room, if in the day - then in the shaded.
Remove the part within 10-12 hours, put the pot in a warm, light, without the direct sun, place.
Water according to the degree of drying of the soil, very little. If leaves do not, then the moisture practically does not evaporate. To eat the risk of waterlogging of the earth.
Then the side buds should awaken.
check the well of the roots and trunk. The barrel dries - resuscitation is unlikely to help.

Diseases and pests (list)
Like to recognize?Which harms? Which act?Brown plaques below the foliage, along the veins. >Capitulation by the scabbard. Remove the pest by hand. Then sprinkle the croton with an insecticide (Actellik). Treat the treatment until you destroy the entire scab. Yellow spots for the leaves. They wither and fall. A visible suit is the network A sagging mite. Remove the leaves affected by the pest. Treat the plant - a systemic insecticide, phytopharm or derris. Spray more often. The mite does not like higher humidity. Leaves wilt, wilt, die. Capitulation by root rot. Remove the plant from the ground, remove the damage, treat the roots with a fungicide and activated charcoal. Later, plant in an unprecedented land. Preventing rottenness: plant the plant in a sterilized substrate, do not allow the soil to become wet.
Croton in most cases propagate by cuttings, less often seeds or air layers.
Cutting
Spend it in the spring, usually afterwards, cutting the plants. Rooting will be better in a greenhouse with heating.
Remove the bottom leaves, cut the top half.
wash the milky juice in running water.
Treat the cuttings with a rooting agent and sprinkle the slices with coal. Soak them for 2 hours for air.
Dump the cuttings in a moistened light substrate (peat + dust).
For the sake of rooting an easy substratum is needed,
Close the greenhouse cover, keep the temperature at + 25-28 degrees.
Put it in the light, without direct sun , a place.
For rooting it takes 2-3 weeks. Then plant the cuttings in separate pots with a nutrient substrate.
Then rooting transplant the young croton into the nutrient soil
Some gardeners convince the croton to manage to produce leaves. They are buried in the soil and covered with a packet. Seedling sometimes sprinkled, watered, kept in partial shade. After 2-3 months grow roots. All the experience will not work if there is at least the desire of one kidney for the sake of development of escape. Therefore, the piece of the stem must necessarily be answered together with the sheet.
The leaf that gave the roots does not guarantee that the plant will grow up.
Seeds
Fruit Croton seeds is endless and difficult. It should be taken into account that this method does not preserve parental properties, and seeds lose their vigor fast. <

Gardener's comments
Always use the Croton's additional explanation. In all latitudes. 12-14 watchman a day about 10 Watt LED lamp for meter height through plants - and it's pretty much grow up virtually anywhere. I have pretty good plants, two of which are in bad places (draft), but a brilliant aristocracy (~ 15,000 lux ) - all compensates for the very desire to be faithful lighting, buy a reliable time relay, and do not trust the inclusion of the backlight to your own schedule. neznaika

I had the main croton to work in the office. The only issue I faced was the mite, who attacked him exactly. And he grew up without reason, looked great. Later I was given a croton for the birthday. I left him at home. And it grows great and very beautiful. Consequently, I took out discounted crochets without fear in the greenhouse. Natalie

Croton, which has grown quite well, collapsed years ago. The roots were not damaged, but then the fall of the cuttings through it disappeared, if they took root, then they were comprehended by the same fate. So much I tormented him, without cause and died. Now I know that the croton do not tolerate flights and tremors. And all that happens to them without cause, above then the transplant began to die, did not like the bottom, I had to promptly evoke the poppy. He sat, thought, and after 3 years later, lateral shoots began to give off unsuccessful transplant. If peat oxide acidifies the soil, then it is allowed to feed. Look at the roots, take them out of the flowerpot. It may exist in the soil to eat pests or earthworms that eat young roots. As I saw, Croton does not like organic fertilizers. It is allowed to risk spilling and spraying with an immunocytophyte, some plants respond well to it. Another croton is very fond of a spider mite, sometimes it does not mean it at all. Then his work as a croton as if for no reason causes the damaged leaves to be discarded.

Мои знакомые обрезали черенок летом, вставили в землю и подарили мне зимой. Он отлично вырастает, и весь мне кажется, который трудности с кротоном здорово гиперболизированы. Только, который знаю будто, который быть обрезке должен существовать тепло и мокро (в помещении, естественно), следовательно отвечать нужно потом того, вроде закончат жечь батареи.

Croton is allowed to produce a leaf. Even in the autumn. In October I put a simple sheet of an extract in the ground, poured it, tied it in a piece. Put in a little. Sometimes sprayed and watered. And in February, roots have already grown. I do not know if there will be shoots, tk. I multiply the leaf for the first time. In November I reproduced the quality of mammy with a cutting blade. There was a small twig with one sheet. She put the stalk into the water, added rootstones and biohumus. At first, February I planted it in the ground. A couple of weeks later, new leaves appeared. The quality of the Gold Chin Cherenkoval in August was a long branch of 20 cm with the launch of the leaves. Has planted in September. Able, a croton without a break is equal, if the fruit and by what method. Right, biohumus much accelerated the gains of barely rising rootlets. <

Croton adore sitting without gain, mostly oaky. Because they prefer acidic soil, I spilled them with succinic acid very weak substance, after 2 weeks began to grow. I checked it repeatedly. T.Tamara

Announcements about the Croton! He did not live or die for 7 months. He did not give any signs of life .. he threw away 3 sheets and without a break ... Now he moved him to the southern room, because of tulle, began to water more often (or earlier gave dry hanging out a couple of days until the leaves do not lower) - now it's not .. changed the high level of the earth, added humus .. and then yesterday's spirit !! voila! - to begin at last !!!

style="text-align: justify;"His painted, lacy leaves will decorate at least some place. However, not everywhere is allowed to educate a capricious handsome. The sun, the warmth and the wet atmosphere - that's what he needs for the sake of a long and beautiful life. These conditions are not so difficult to fulfill. Experienced gardeners with success cultivate whole collections of elegant plants. They know where the only croton lived, the other will get better.
