Grow Croton from Leaf in Water - No SOIL Needed! 

@Denice Porchia, you just made my day and thank you very much for the wonderful feedback, appreciate it :-) Along with the leaves, keeping few stems in water would be a good idea as Crotons are extremely easy to grow from cuttings in water.

did it really grow in water from leaf??

I tried the same thing but it's es negative .no roots

@@fatimadjelti4037l0

@@swetamishra7036 I tried it and yes roots did come out.

@Denice Porchia, thank you for your comment and sorry for taking time to reply, was busy on growing more plants :-) With the leaves, I would also recommend you keep 1 or 2 stems in water and this way you would get a new plant much faster. Anyway, plz let me know about the things are going on your end. Thank you once again and have a great day :-) ~ Myself Chandan Dutta and nice to meet you Denice :-)

Hi, I have a croton plant, actually 8 years old, grown from a single leaf, it has its weaker times, leaves fall off, but soon I get new growth and what usually helps me, I remove leaves which are faded or look sick, mainly those lower ones, by now my plant looks like a small tree because it makes new leaves on upper parts. You can even cut a branch and it will start growing new from that point. I water it only with spray bottle in summer, maybe every other day, it stays on the window without much moving air but with sun in the morning till noon, and if I get worried about it, I simply air the soil with a thin scewer very carefully, add a few spoons of fresh soil on top and hide a tiny piece of plant food stick close to the roots. In few days you hopefully will see changes to better. I also spray or gently shower the leaves. They show be dust free. Cinnamon on top soil can help protect your plant from all kinds of sickness. Happy gardening.

@@SumsungTV-gv3hz were able to take a video of your leaf while growing madam,i would like to watch it if its possible,i try looking for your yt channel..

Yeah!!! I want to know the results on growing with leaves only. One video said it will not succeed.

Did the leaf grow into a tree or no?

Did you put it in soil afterwards? Did it grow in soil?

I know for a fact you didn't get a new plant.....you only got a leaf with roots, which will stay a single leaf and nothing more......science and gardening are amazing and powerful things to learn about

No bi nj bi chi Cy n[

@Diane Picard, thank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it :-) Whenever you try, plz try with the stem cuttings. It takes lots of time from leaves and I would upload another video about stem cuttings in water. (Already got very good result, just need to edit and upload) Thank you once again and have a great time :-)

@justcallme..., thank you very much for watching. I would recommend you keep 1-2 stems in water as well so that you get the result faster.

@Janine Boyer, Most welcome and thank you for watching the video. If you want to try it, please try with stem cuttings as you would get the result much faster. Thank you an TC :-)

okay great one positive reply

How many days does it take ?

My plant no rotting what should I do?

Good morning, how long did it take for roots to come from your leaf? Thanks

@helan hema pa in how many days you found the stems?

@OreoTime1, Thank you so so much, appreciate it :-)

Just subscribed...

Hi @CheZ Zmo, Thank you so much for your words, appreciate it. I am sorry as I am going to disappoint you :-( If you want to propagate, please use the stem cuttings. It takes too much time from the leaves and not worth. Stem cutting is much easier and quicker n I would upload a video very soon. Thank you once again for the support, truly appreciate it. Happy gardening :-)

@@GardeningUpbeat Haha...I do have both leaf and stem. It will be interesting to see how they both do.)

@Chand Suraj, good luck and I would also recommend you to keep at least 1 or 2 stems in water as well because we can get faster result by using stems. Thank you for your comment and let me know if you have any question :-)

@@GardeningUpbeat i kept four leaves in water two of them grown their roots one rotten and the last one is still fresh but not having a single root hair.

u cant grow a plant from leaf its simple not possible u need to take a 7inch stem put it in water for 10 to 14 days after roots form plant it on lose soil

@Jillian LeBlanc, I would highly recommend you grow the Croton from the stem cuttings as it's much quicker and fast. I would upload one video with result very soon, thank you :-) Have a great time :-)

But when i planted that rooted stem and leaf of croton in soil , they died in just 3 days while they are happy till they are in water

Croton leaves don’t have the capacity to produce a bud from a leaf. There is even a name for this phenomenon: a rooted cutting that never produces a plant is called a blind cutting. A single leaf will develop a surprisingly robust root system. But to produce a new stem and, eventually, a complete plant, it would need an axillary bud. It is only from this bud that the plant can regenerate. Pretty roots but no plant will ever grow from it.

@chhota song Burman, welcome and many thanks for your feedback, appreciate it :-)

Thank you so much!

@Gardening N farming, Vinod ji, aap muje sarminda kar rahe hai Sir bolke :-( Myself Chandan and plz don't call me Sir. Anyway, many thanks for your feedback, appreciate it :-)

@Sarabjeet Sandhu, thank you very much for your feedback. Myself Chandan Dutta and I would really appreciate if you don't call me Sir :-)

@@GardeningUpbeat thanks Chandan for your reply I have put croton leaves in water waiting for result

@Sarabjeet Sandhu, you we welcome and wishing you good luck :-)

Good job. This video is a huge troll. You cannot grow a plant from the leaf. You need a side shoot or stem piece

True!

True, no plant can be developed in this fashion.

@ Jocelyn Matiya, thank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it :-)

@Linda R, most welcome! While trying, plz keep 1-2 stems as well because that way you would get the result faster. Thank you for watching :-)

@Angela Warner, Few can be done like ZZ, Snake plant and most of the Succulents can be propagated from leaves. But for Croton, plz try with stem cuttings as you would get result much faster. If you want to see Snake plant propagation in water and few more succulents, here is one of my video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nyglD7YEC-E.html Thank you :-)

@@GardeningUpbeat Good to know! It would be nice if it was easy to grow other things from leaves like this, wouldn't it? Anyway, great tutorial! I definitely will check out your video on succulents as well. 🙂

Pothos plants are notoriously easy to propagate in water. They grow stems so fast. I have many plants from doing this

christmas cactus works well.

@@Violet_Lotus_ Yes, succulents are fairly easy to propagate this way.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GROW CROTEN FROM SINGLE LEAF.

Not possible

Yup! The node on the stem is precisely whats needed to produce a plant though. you can have the stem and accidentally not include the node in your cutting and therefor wont have another plant produced. im sure you know this i just wanted to add some detail for those who do not know

@@Mystikphobe se eu entendi bem a folha enraíza mais não sai um filhote? Então isso é só enganação? ????

Had this issue with, I think it was... swiss cheese vine? (Monstera Adandonii). I got a cutting from a local small business and it just stayed a leaf for MONTHS and didnt even really grow roots. It had the tiniest bit of stem but not much so I think it was just a lost cause

So if he had used the entire piece he started with he would have been ok...?

@@tyblips this reference video would not help you with your monstera adansonii. Different types of plants altogether. If it DID grow roots, then you had a cutting that would’ve developed into a plant. You usually cannot get roots without a node from monstera varieties. If you still have the cutting, put in only a small amount of water to prevent rot on the stem, only submerge the node area. You can use super thrive to help with shock and root growth. You can also place cuttings in with other rooted cuttings because the hormones that promote root growth will be at great levels. Monstera can take a very, very long time before there is substantial root growth. As long as your cutting doesn’t show signs of rot, or leaf death, the cutting should still be completely viable and on the process of sending out hormones for root growth.

@Jillian LeBlanc, Thank you very much but plz try with stem cuttings. This way, you would get the result much faster, good luck :-)

Blahhahahahaha! You can't grow the plant from a leaf. You got trolled. You CAN grow a plant from side shoots if they're long enough. But it takes patience and luck

Leaves me roots to aasaktehe but is se plant nahi bansakta...only rooting hi hogi..... Isliye khamkha isko try mat karie....

@@GardeningUpbeat plzzz.....is ki update dikhaye ....1 saal baad vo plant kitna grow ho gaya uski.....

Leaves don't grow plants.

@Gardening N farming, thank you very much Sir Ji :-)

Thanks for sharing. How often do you have to change the water in the glass?

Mine to but after poting on soil.. It dies😑

@@GardeningUpbeat yeah. A test of patience. But no scope for stems during extended lockdown in chennai. Thank you. It is always a pleasure watching your videos.

@ANGRA DE JESUS, Muito obrigado :-)

@Isha Kapoor - Beauty Consultant, Sorry for taking time to reply, Broadband not working because of lockdown. Anyway, Thank you SO SO much for your feedback, appreciate it. But, plz try with stem cutting and that way you would get the result much faster. You can use just plain water and keep the stems in water. Changing water once a week would be more than enough. Good luck :-)

How many days it will take to develop roots? In which u place d stems in soil or water..?

I hv stem cutting will it grow

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GROW CROTEN FROM SINGLE LEAF.

You won't get a new plant from a leaf, I'm sorry to give bad news

You will get a leaf with roots that stays a leaf and nothing more will come of it

@Lawrence, thank you very much for sharing your experience and sorry to know it died. Let's see, I am waiting for the result :-)

I also watched similar videos and they say that croton leaf develop roots but it doesn't develop new shoots as it dont have any spot for new shoot

Not only crotons, but any other leaves won't develop into a new plant. I tried it wth ficus.

Лист кротона может выпустить корни, но ростка не будет. Нет точки роста, т.е. почки...

@gurminder0512, you are welcome and many thanks for your feedback, appreciate it :-)

Kkkkk, eu tbm

Idem 😂😂 deu certo? Conta pra gente

Don’t it won’t produce new plant from leaf only roots

Please let me know weather your plant grown yet or not

Yeah I noticed there was no updated video. I believe the leaf can continue to feed itself but with no stem the plant probably cant produce more leaves.

@@sylviasace yes i am curious if you can get a plant from just the leaf too

@@alfrancis8 I have never done this myself. From research i learned it is possible to grow a plant that will produce more leaves from just a single leaf. It will take years though and is extremely difficult. It is better to cut a couple inches off the top of a stem and plant that.

It will not grow from single leaf

@Eline Bommel, thank you very much for watching the video and for your feedback, appreciate it.

Dats wat m waiting for... I tried this but no root has come.. Month completed

no update will come. i heard that the leaf will grow roots but NOT BRANCHES. it WILL STAY AS LEAF WITH ROOT, then eventually die.

@@pedroreynantelreyes yes i heard its impossible to propagate from leaf

@@pedroreynantelreyes 😓

You can NOT propagate a croton from the leaf! It will forever stay a leaf. You need them stem! People need to do some research this is stupid. Smh

Destinee it won’t because the leave can’t grow a stam

@@ichhabeesnichtgewust7979 Oh, is that true... :(

Once the rooted leaf is planted a new "shoot"will come up out of the soil and that will be your new Croton plant

Sweet I’ll try it how long you think 3-6 months 😬

They don't develop any shoot .. Shoot will ne dvlpd when you propagate it from stem

@@Anonymous-xx2vl se enraíza e não desenvolve o caule ou seja uma outra planta pra que serve o vídeo???? affs

@Anupam S, thank you for your wonderful feedback and sure I would update :-)

It all depends on oxygen so topping it off with new water works well but changing it is probably better.

You should leave it cause it creates beneficial bacteria to help with the root growth and only top it off when needed.

It will never grow into a plant.

Unfortunately, it won’t

@Vanessa Krystyna Beauty, thank you for watching :-)

Wooooooooow.loveeeee👌💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💋🇱🇰

Yes true, the leaves root, but they don't turn to a full plant. I hve tried it with ficus.

@@sathyavivekanandan5241 If that is the case, then what's the point...?

You just have to wait.

@@apple.supremacy6774 Well they are saying it will NEVER turn into a new plant, like most succulents do from a leaf. So waiting doesn't seem like it will help.

@my fairy terrace garden, thank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it :-)

2 months at least

Mine propogated after two months

Mine got roots in less than a month

Its in the video

@@anishvengala did u have it's in water or soil

@adel hesham, sorry to know :-( Perhaps, you can try once again and try with stem cuttings and I am sure you would get the roots soon, Good luck :-)

Try pothos (money plant) everyone can root that

Try to use rain or spring water

Do it as he suggested, you may also want to add rooting powder....but the wait is a long one

Don't overwater ur cuttings

@Kavita Rana jii, thank you SOOOOOOOO much for the feedback, appreciate it. But if you want to try, please try with stem cuttings and you would get the result much faster. Thank you and TC :-)
