How To Propagate / Grow Gold Dust Croton From Stem Cuttings / Results Included

This video shows how to propagate Croton Gold Dust using stem cutting easily. This video also shows the result of the propagation.

[@trojanlrey8133]

I wouldn't have believed that these cuttings would root with so many leaves left on the stem. I also was surprised that the roots seem to come from above the section where the wood was scraped away. After washing away the soil I didn't expect one of the stems to be completely green. I thought they were all woody cuttings at the start. Well done.

You will be my 1st go-to from now on. I freaking love that you don't talk us to death but instead show us how to do this. I'm subscribing immediately! Thank you so much, I love your style❤️❤️❤️

Bro, my school has a bunch of these in the front, a d they’re SOOOO sad looking, everyone always rips the leaves and throws garbage on them. I took a healthy looking leave the other day and started propagating it. It’s doing very well actually 🙂

[@NOIRIST]

How's your plant doing, dude?

[@drswatin]

This is Superb !! I shall also do the same, have huge plants as of now. Very informative, truly. Now I can gift so many of them to my friends :)

Glad this video helped. Yes, its a great idea to propagate and share plants with friends and neighbours.

[@vathanip3334]

Wow.......I never knew this type of cutting can have roots growing..very informative.👍

[@PlantZone]

Yes. Croton is one of the easiest plant we can propagate using stem cutting.

What type of pots should be used for cuttings and also can you tell the music name

[@PlantZone]

@@mathme866 You can use any pot or polybag or even recycled plastic water bottle. If using a recycled bottle make sure to punch a lot of holes for drainage. The song title is Kurt by artist name Cheel. You can find it in the youtube free Audio library

Love the Gold Dust croton..can it take Full Sun or needs shade

[@belgin7670]

Tam gölge de iyi büyüyor, Güneş yapraklarını yakıyor

[@PlantZone]

It can grow in full sun, just ensure it has enough of moisture in the soil.

[@giulianoggg2035]

How often do i water it? thank you

[@sairamkrishnamathe1810]

Indoor plant or outdoor plant

[@hyunelynn5729]

i hv a question..once the croton has rooted and you change to bigger pot, do you still keep in shade for few days or put under direct sunlight that same day?

[@PlantZone]

Keep it under shade first for 10 days before putting under direct sunlight.

[@DeepakSharma_91]

Can we grow this in water too with same stem abrasion technique which u shown to us? And why don't you put any compost during rooting period?👍

[@PlantZone]

Hi, yes you can use stem, cutting and root it in water. Just put the cut stem directly in water and you will see roots emerging after a week. After three weeks you can have well grown roots. Change water regularly. You can use a little compost in your rooting medium for hardwood and semi-hardwood stems cuttings during rooting period. I am not using because I am having rooting success without compost so I just leave it at that.

[@trendandstyle5212]

Very easy method. Thanks

Thank you

[@pritamsardar3578]

Hey! Can this be performed on thin leaved Gold Dust Croton? And the one we have is planted in ground, which is nearly 10 feet tall and very old, the branches are quiet thick, so will it work then?

[@PlantZone]

Hi, this method can be used for all varieties of croton plant. However, for thick branches it is not recommended to do stem cutting propagation. The chances for thick branch hardwood to root is very very low. Stem cutting is best done with softwood cuttings or semi softwood cuttings. For thick hard woods, it is best to use air layering method.

[@dayyou]

@@PlantZone can this be done with green stem clippings that have no woody outside?

[@PlantZone]

Yes can, green stem is softwood cutting.

[@vikasdeepsharma8583]

Which season we grow?

[@PlantZone]

You can propagate this anytime of the year if you are in tropical climate zone. If you have winter, early spring will be ideal.

[@noortronixofficial5429]

U put in sunlight or shade...??

[@PlantZone]

New cuttings for propagations are always put in shade, once they have rooted well, can be changed into bigger polybags or pots and placed under direct sunlight.

[@noortronixofficial5429]

[@lakhveerkaur8353]

Where to keep croton plant ....indoor or outdoor

[@PlantZone]

Best is outdoor. Croton is an outdoor plant native to Malaysia. However, you can grow croton indoor if that area can get plenty of light. Some hybrid crotons from Thailand does not tolerate direct sunlight. They get leaf burns. So hybrids from Thailand's are best in shade and they can do better indoor as well, but ensure the area is very bright and get plenty of indirect sunlight.

[@lakhveerkaur8353]

If croton gets morning sunlight from 8.30 am to 11.30 am....is it okay ...if I keep outside

[@lakhveerkaur8353]

Can I propagate now....in June end

[@PlantZone]

@@lakhveerkaur8353 Yes. You can also let the plant under direct sunlight the entire day if your climate is similar to tropical countries. Except those from Thailand, they cannot get direct sunlight.

[@PlantZone]

You can propagate croton anytime of the year as long as you are not in zone that have winter. Where is your current location?

[@willhem69]

Why can’t you use fertilised soiled.

[@PlantZone]

Using fertilizer soil can actually slow down the rooting process or it can burn the cuttings. You can add fertilizer lightly after it has roots.

Your croton leaves become yellow, is it ok? Actually my croton leaves are yellowing just like u, I thought it has some problem, plz reply

[@PlantZone]

So far it's doing fine. I think it's because I am keeping it under direct sunlight. If you move it to shade the colour will change to more green.

[@bbsppkhanapur3119]

did you put any chemicals/hormones in the soil or is it any special soil means (mixed with good manure etc.) or normal garden soil? and this is a really awesome video

[@PlantZone]

Hi. I didn't use any rooting hormone/chemical for propagating this plant. In fact, I am not using rooting hormones or chemicals in any of my propagations. I propagate in normal gardening soil without any manure or fertilizer.

[@shonashelar78]

What is the soil mix? My soil is almost 15years old & has become clay like...my plant is dying..with dropping leaves

[@PlantZone]

This plant can grow in any soil but the soil cannot be hard or kept soggy. It has to be loose and well draining. A little moist is ok.
