another unknown one for me.. long leaves, gets big.
Somebody say crotons??
one more..this one gets large has deep red undersides.
Thai hybrid crotons
Eclipse those are beautiful. Nothing at Lowes, HD, etc everything is being pushed out to make room for Xmas decorations! Like that stuff is important to people w/ serious plant addictions!
I second that!
Beautiful foliage pics people!!
I found some crotons @ HEB today, 3.99- same thing @ Kroger in the floral departments. Nothing spectacular, but I bought one.
What?
I know I didn't need it but dang it, I wanted it even if it wasn't that lovely pink!
Thanks for the propogating info! Like I said, I'm new at this. When I take a cutting, I just go to the top and cut it off and stick in water?
Dumb but anxious.

Gail....try air layering....it is easier, I think.
Somewhere I remember reading that even when taking a cutting from a known cultivar, there is no guarantee that the cutting will be EXACT!!! I know I have a deep pink one (green new foliage) and the cuttings have come out yellow thru orange thru red to pink. I wonder about the environment/nutrition affecting the colors of the leaves as they can to the flowers of hoyas of the same clone.
Hmmm that's interesting. You would think that a cutting would produce exact.
I have had that happen too, these things sport like crazy, and then revert again, go figure...LOL
Well, no *wonder* there are so many amazingly beautiful cultivars out there!
I love crotons, but living where I do, it's very hard to get them. I found one in Des Moines a couple of years ago and that's it. Jim saved it from the frost this year.
