Croton (codium, Joseph’s cloak) gained popularity in the indoor
floriculture for their decorative motley leaves.
In the wild, it reaches 3 m in height, and in the wild
conditions grows in half.

So:
• apical cuttings root faster than

• optimal cutting length is 7-10 cm;
• cuttings cut only from a healthy plant;
• The cutting must be semi-woody or woody.

Croton can be propagated vegetatively and seeds. Of vegetative
ways to distinguish the following:
• stem and leaf cuttings;
• air layouts;
• horizontal layouts.

a few minutes in warm water to wash off the milky juice. Next cut
need to be dried and dipped in a root stimulator
(heteroauxin, root). Prepared pots are filled with
substrate: sand, leaf and sod land, peat in equal
proportions. The cuttings are planted in the ground and covered with cans or
put in a mini-hothouse. You can use zip packages instead.
Daily landing need to be aired and sprayed from

In summer, leaf cuttings can be rooted in the water.

• After 30-40 days roots will appear on the cut;

only freshly harvested seeds (they quickly lose their germination). Sow them
in February:
• Seeds are soaked in warm water for 12-15 hours, and after that
keep them for 2-3 hours in a phytohormone solution;
• Prepared seeds are sown in containers with moistened
sand and peat substrate (2: 1) to a depth of no more than 1 cm and
cover with a lid, film or glass;
