Croton Plant - How to Make Lush Crown

The video is from series "Caring For Croton Houseplants At Home".
Croton is a plant that has many varieties and many options for the color and shape of the leaves.
Croton is a long-lived plant, reaching a height of up to 3 meters.
The main disadvantage of croton is that over time, the lower leaves fall off, stem plants become bare. And the older the plant, the more unattractive the plant looks.
When the plant reaches a height of 50 cm or more, the lower leaves begin to fall off, and the higher the plant, the less leaves it has.
To avoid this, you need to cut the crown of the plant. You can form a plant only in early spring.
The plant must be mature and not less than 30-40 cm, has a liquefied part of the trunk.
After bending, 7-8 leaves should remain in the lower part of the trunk. These leaves may fall, but next to them, new branches begin to sprout from buds.
It is necessary to cut off the money crown so that the stem is 1-2 cm from the top sheet.
But not all of them will survive; even if two new branches come back it will be good.
The upper cut must be dried and burned with something, such as iodine.
To wait for the lush crown of such a plant, you need to gather patience, from several months to one year.
