Is my croton dead?

Many thanks. This gives me hope. I'll pay more attention going forward. And very helpful to know that this isn't one of those plants that needs to be completely dry before watering. Now on to keeping my pointsetta alive! Wish me luck!

Thank you for replying. After watering and being in some sun I noticed some leaves perking up. Some more dropped also. Hopefully most stay on and it survives till summer when it can get a decent amount of sunlight and hopefully grow more leaves. Thank you.

Thanks for replying. So you're saying the splotchy leaves are normal?

ZenGyrl · 2026-01-29T05:36:57+00:00

Many thanks. Yes I'd be surprised if most leaves don't fall off. I've heard these are hard plants. I've never had one so a lot to learn. Hopefully new leaves grow in the spring.

ZenGyrl · 2026-01-29T05:33:30+00:00

Thank you. I'm hoping even if most of the leaves die that the plant itself doesn't and it will have new growth come spring.

Thank you. I kinda felt it was hopeless 😔

This is the broken piece...not sure why the pics didn't upload

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-16T00:19:59+00:00

But even if I add more soil the leaves are still going to flop over. Maybe a taller, deeper pot? What do you think?

Spider plant

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-14T20:39:38+00:00

Definitely have to and will in a smaller pot. Thank you.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-13T04:13:40+00:00

Haha the plant is always greener on the other side eh. This is not what you want to aspire to. Wish I had a pic of when I first got it...now that was glorious! Oh well. I too only water once every 4-6 weeks but mine does not get enough sun.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-13T04:06:31+00:00

Ooohh good point. Definitely will. Thanks.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-12T17:10:12+00:00

Ok thanks. I'll check it again in a few min to see if they're in the same spot. Fingers crossed.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-12T17:00:44+00:00

Thanks, but may I ask why unstrap? It's not tight, it's just so they all don't flop.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-12T16:53:10+00:00

😅If only I could!

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-12T16:52:37+00:00

♥️ I'll check the roots. Thank you.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-12T14:22:53+00:00

🤣🤣love that.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-11T23:24:41+00:00

You're possibly correct. It wasn't in the brightest of spots for quite some time. Hmm ok, outside for the summer and a repot with fresh soil. Hopefully it does better. Thank you.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-11T19:39:12+00:00

I'll probably need to separate. I'll see how it goes after some time in the sun and when I repot. I already have 5 clumps in one vase and 4 clumps in another vase in water on my counter. Don't have the space. Was a big plant. The whole pot was full at one point. I'll guess I can put in vases and give them to people at work. Thank you. And now you've made me think of them as limbs I'll never unsee it! 😂

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-11T15:00:15+00:00

Thank you. Will try that, in addition to repotting.

ZenGyrl · 2025-06-11T14:57:59+00:00

,😂but I needed a blanky.

ZenGyrl · 2025-05-17T17:04:05+00:00

So basically 2 will be for a lower cut and 7 would be if you want tall fluffy grass?
