I love the efforts you take in showing before and after, and details on WHAT fertiliser for each plants. So many do not do this. Would love a video on Cordyline improvement. 🙏

[@dianavazquez9404]

Yes the video taught me a lot. I bought one of these plants, it has long legs . You gave me good advice on how to take care of my Petra croton. Thank you.

[@drdirt9379]

I have done this many times it’s super easy crotons are very forgiving plants I put cut pieces in deep water in clear glass outside with indirect sun and only add water when it’s below the stem and have new roots about three inches long before I plant them

I had this plant indoor. This spring I planted it outside it is doing great. I’m in Canada.

[@jjpp2216]

I have several, about 15 years old each. Every summer they go outside and get rejuvenated as they love brighter light than most of us can deliver, in Canada, in the winter. (It’s the bright light that gives the leaves their colour, if you didn’t know.)

[@thequeenston4760]

I love your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to record all of this footage! It’s so great to see results and have a timeline. I’m sometimes very impatient with my cuttings, but your videos always calm me down ;-) cheers from Germany!

Thanks a lot for sharing this informative video... Even I had a leggy coroton that is about to touch the sky... Saw your this video few days back, tried the same thing with my croton as well... And guess what there are visible shoots growing up in the Parent plant thankfully... Not sure, but really hopeful that the cutting will also shoot up soon... Really thank you so much for this explanation and update, it gives moral support, strength, assurance, confidence & encouragement to go ahead with prunning... As you said 'Never feel guilty about prunning the plant'... Got wonderful results... Thanks again... Take care and God bless you... 🙏😇🌲

[@aliakhatoon7724]

I pruned my gold dust, all the branches I dipped in rooting hormone and potted it in cocopeat, it was a 100%success.this time I am trying the same thing but potted them with the mother plant. Let's see what happens ☺

[@ushaach]

Thanks ...I did the hard pruning of my leggy croton which was also going all green. I tried notching earlier and though a little growth emerged but nothing much happened after that. After hard pruning and replanting the cuttings it is now bushier and the leaves are also rich in colour.

[@GardeningUpbeat]

So glad to know about your success story, superb and great job indeed!

[@monicax7802]

I screamed a little when you did the first cut on the leggy croton. But after seeing the final product I see that the pruning did help. Still, I've never pruned my plants like that. I'll be apologizing to them as I cut/ prune. I have a mammy croton who is getting leggy and needs more color.

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Monica X, I can totally feel you..and it's not just about Croton, I feel bad to prune any plants. But, whenever we grow in pots (as we don't have lots of space), we need to prune them to keep them in shape. Anyway, the harsh truth is that they don't want to be grown in pots or in containers. But at the same time, we are not doing anything bad or wrong by growing plants in pots. Plus, we are really doing great thing and that's why, no need to worry about pruning :-) I have many plants which are around 4-5 years old and for all those, I need to prune them on yearly basis as I am growing all of them in pots. If I had land, of course I would have grown many plants directly in ground. Happy Gardening :-)

[@GardeningUpbeat]

Thank you very much for watching the video... >> Only 1 question... what attention did u give the original stem to encourage the new growth and branches..Answers>> No 1. Kept the pot in under indirect Sunlight No 2. Watered only when top 2 inches soil is dry (Plz note, my plant was in 8 inch deeper pot) 3. Didn't do anything strange things that would disturb the stem with bare leaves 4. The rest part of the video starts from here... Please note, specially for No 1 - I don't think you are from too much hot and humid area, like INDIA (guessed from your profile pic n very beautiful click..truly saying). So, in such case, even you keep your plant under direct sunlight just after pruning, it's not going to hurt the plant at all. Temp in my place is quite high..for example, day before yesterday, it was 39°C [102.2°F] I hope, I have answered your question. If you still have any, please feel free to ask me :-)
