Croton (Plant Care): Drastic Times calls for Drastic Measures.

- Опубліковано 7 сер 2019
- Croton plants come in a wide variety of shapes and colors. How to rid your plant of meely bugs, scale, and mites.
My houseplant, croton, was infested with scale, so I treeted it with neem oil, but the infestation was too established, so I had to go to drastic measures. - Навчання та стиль
Just looking at the bugs makes my skin crawl.
😁 LOL!
I was a boy who played outside and with bugs.
In first grade I created a "bug zoo" until my mother freaked out, but shortly after my parents got me a cat, so it worked out.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment.
Stay safe in these challenging times.

My grandmother used to have these plants around her house. These plants grow huge.
🌴🤗🌺Aloha from Hawaii🌺🤗🌴
🎈✨🧨It's a whole new year of possibilities 🧨✨🎈
🍀🍀 Good luck follows bad luck, so 2021 will be awesome!🍀🍀
Stay safe, stay strong, and stay positive🤪
Aloha, I purchased a croton not to long ago and it was good for about 6 mos then suddenly and immediately it took a terrible turn. Thanks to you I now know it was because I moved it. Excellent video and very informative.
Thank You
Aloha, my friend.
Crotons, as indoor plants, do not seem as strong as indoor plants. They need a lot of light, and they do not like to sit in water.
TeedarkAngel, I appreciate you visiting. I want you to know that I've noticed and that I appreciate your friendship.
Take care, my dear friend.
Gerald:)
Croton was the very first plant I bought my daughter. It's her favorite cultivar. I got one for my self recently. Good to hear from you again. Keep the videos coming please. Greetings from Puerto Rico!
Greeting from the other side of the planted!
Hello, Cuca 😊
I've fallen behind on my correspondence, but I appreciate you always leaving a king encouraging word. It's been a challenging few months... teen grandchildren.
Anyways,
I'm happy to hear that your daughter has a love fore plants. I hope my grandchildren and children will find time for plants in there homes.
Don't be a stranger 😊 Hope to hear from you soon.
Friends,
Gerald:)
Plants are my Therapy Hi Gerard, give your kids/grandkids sometime to develop the love for plants. Maybe they are still young. One of these days you will be surprised like I was when she told me she wanted to get plants for her house! Always enjoy your videos, very informative and give me new ideas. Take care my "Botanical Bro". 🌺☺️🌿
My parents had a small nursery set up exclusively for growing Croton‘s a few years back. They are beautiful plants and very resilient.. but Man when you mention the scale it brought me back.
We were preparing to ship to Singapore so they had to be clean clean.. And scale got into the crotons pretty bad. We spent days if not week’s de scaling and wiping down hundreds of plants with soapy water.
It worked out great in the end but man.. those little green bastards.
Crotons are awesome plants! All shapes sizes colors. My parents painted their yard using them and it looks so beautiful! Highly recommend :)
Thank you for sharing! You sure know your stuff good info I bought couple crotons and my mom told me that this green and yellow was my grandmas favorite like wow so I'm glad I picked it up great video!
Amazing job Gerald.
Congratulations.
Best wishes.
Oh my God you was like a surgeon removing those scale bugs . Happy the 1 plant made a recovery. 😊
Hey KLove,
LOL🙂 I got obsessed. I didn't have much to do, but it as kinda satisfying cleaning the plants.
Nice to hear from you again. Take care,
Gerald :)
Great work and video my friend Gerald, thank you for sharing !!

Hello, Mary and Harry
You guys are one of my bests friends. Always watching my videos. It helps me. I am a very small channel. I thank you greatly.
Gerald:)
Thank you for your expert tips, so beautifully presented!
Croton is a very beautiful plant and it is quite common here, in Romania. I enjoyed watching and learning. Loved it. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Aloha din Hawaii,
Vă mulțumim pentru încurajări. Ești foarte amabil.
Vă doresc întotdeauna multă sănătate și fericire,

Hello my friend, thank you for dropping by my simple live streaming. Wow! a lot of the defferent kids of plants, I like the yellow one it's easy to become a lot. Thank for sharing.
Hello. Virgie. Aloha from Hawaii! It was fun meeting you. Thank you for being so kind. I hope you are having a great day.
Nicely done, plant care is not as easy as most ppl think, its constant monitoring to see if everything is ok
Good afternoon, My friend
I just returned from your channel. Guava trees grow in South Africa? Is your weather tropical?

Your Croton is so beautiful! I just got the same type of croton today as in this video, although not as colorful and Minus the scaly bugs. Im so happy, plants are my Therapy too. ❤️🌿❤️🌿❤️🌿. I will put mine in a sunny place as too increase that gorgeous yellow colour. 😁
Hello, Healthyfitmom
Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you had a good day. Thank you for visiting me. It really means a lot to me.
I didn't think I'd like this plant as much as I do. When I first got this plant, it was infested with scale bugs, and I am happy it cleared and the problem never returned. I've come to really love this plant. I hope your croton provides you with as much joy.
Again, thank you for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊

Billy B : Hey Billy B. I don't know if it's "racist" but each time I read your comments, I hear an Australian accent :) which I think is a manly accent, but my exposure to the accent are from Australian tourist that I've services when I worked in Hawaii's visitors industry. Always wonderfully down-to-earth people.
Crocodile Dundee movies of the 1980s, Chris Hemsworth's Thor. That movie mini series in the 1980's 'Thornbirds.' .The Crocodile Hunter' - Australia seems amazing, but I suppose there is a "movie fantasy component" at work here because Hawaii isn't all 'Hawaii 5-O' 'LILO and Stich,' or 'Blood and Orchids."

Merry Christmas from Hawaii!
It must be getting colder in your area these days. Stay safe and stay healthy. It's been a heck of a year.
Much Aloha,

Thank you, Gerald.
Didn't know you lived in
Hawaii- is it as great as I imagine?
Yes, it is cold,
But,
We need more snow!
Merry Christmas!
Dear Mary,
Well, I am biased, and I appreciate my luck of being born here, but the cost of living is so high that I may not be able to retire here. Most retirees relocate to Nevada and Arizona. That's a culture shock for me. I may retire in the Philippines. It's another tropical island, so how different could it be?
Take care, my friend.
We call these plants San Francisco...
Thank you for sharing your tips and experience Gerald...
Very good information.

Thanks!!! I Didn't Know That The Croton Was A Plant That Threw Fits When IT Was Moved!!! I Know That Some Have Died Off Because THEY Were In Dish Gardens With Plants Like The Peace Lily That Didn't Need A Lot Of Sunlight. SO...When I Placed Them In Places That Didn't Get A Lot Of Sunlight EVENTUALLY They Left ME!!!

Hello Gerald
Sooo good to see the croton video! I have 5 crotons 3 large and 2 propagated! My new issue is spider Webb looking substance on one of my large crotons!
It’s brother looks sickly and was thriving?
Appreciate any helpful suggestions! I use your recipe and continue with orchid bark and perilite
I lost the war on my beautiful peace Lilly’s
Managed to keep a piece of one which is now rooting beautifully in water!
Back to my crotons they love the South facing window which they all love
Denice
Denice!
I just found your come not. I usually go to your comments first.
The webbing I fearfully suspect is spider mites. I hate spider mites!
Take these plants outside - considering whether, and hose the leave, especially the bottom of the leaves down with a spray of water. Do this in the morning so the plant has enough time to dry - if you must take the plant back into the house that same hour or end-of-the-day, tilt the plant on a 30-45* angle to alter the 'perched water table' before bringing it back into the house.
Spray the plant with 'neem oil' (dilute as directed), especially under the leaves.
You may have to repeat it a couple of days - beware not to keep the plant soaked. I've gone as far as to use Saran Wrap to cover the soil the second and third day as I hose/spray the plant to keep it from promoting root rot or fungus gnats.
I hate spider mites, they are so small I don't find them until they are established!
My thoughts are with you, my dear friend,
Gerald:)
Great and very beautiful video, my friend Gerald, i like very much!!
Have a good day and lovely weekend!!Greetings from Greece!! +420 L
Many thanks, George
I hope to visit Greece, someday, but I know I won't. I am getting ready to retire and I have inherited my grandchildren. They are young and foolish, but I cannot abandon them. This is my fate that I must accept. They will never appreciate my worries until I am gone. I have protected them and provided for all their needs. They just don't understand how difficult life can be.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ, Τζορτζ

Sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a long and challenging year. I hope you are doing well.
This plant is doing quite well. It's a huge bush about four feet tall and two feet round. I want to trim it to a tree, but it looks so nice.
Wishing you good health and happiness always,

Thanks Gearld!
It does not enjoy being moved is correct
Love them ❤️ I love the colors! You’re great! I would have tossed it out! I keep having this issue with my peace Lillys!
One is from propagation.
Is Neem oil something you use regularly!

I love hearing from you. Hope you've been well. Thank you for noticing my absence. Plants are my therapy, but I love all the great people I've met here, and I appreciate that you're one of my best friends :)
I just found a "Silver White Peace Lily" from 'Koolau Farmers' two days ago. I'm trying to decide how to repot it, I wish I found a variegated peace lily, but we can't always get what we want.
Anyways....
Take care and be safe,

Plants are my Therapy
Good evening Gerald, I found my crotons turning dark and they are in a South facing window, three large ones. I haven’t seen this bug in my Plants but you have me wondering! I don’t like their appearance after a year! I see they don’t look healthy!
Ad I reached to open a window, I accidentally knocked over the stand where my croton fell over! What a mess on a very light cream carpet! Well, so much for my sickly looking plant! I believe you are right, you can’t always get what you want.
I found it difficult to find a fertilizer such as worm castings. I found one store in Lavoniia. And didn’t get the only bag on the shelf! Sadly,
Glad you’re back and of course you were missed! Please let me know if there is anything ZI can do to help my 2 crotons look well again. I propagated another one and realized that I have five now! How our plants do multiply😀😍.lol! My large croton is doing well but the older ones should be growing after one year!
Thank you Gerald
Your friend
Denice
That's the biggest mealy bug I've ever seen😫
LOL! Apparently they grow big in the tropics. I've had mealy bugs that size on my Tahitian Gardenia Tree, and I didn't want to use chemicals, so I got up early every morning and picked out all the mealy bugs I could find/reach, then I hoses/sprayed the under side of the canopy with water. Seems like the mealy bugs can handle getting wet. I had an easier time ridding them from my tree than from any houseplant.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Wishing you well and pleasant dreams 😊

Thanks for another great video! I'm not a fan of Crotons, they're difficult to keep in Canada unless you have grow lights and like you, I'm not a fan of the garish colours.
Hello Tabatha,
Aloha from Hwaii! Lucky you're in Canada right now. The humid tropical heat it exhausting! I had a hard time keeping crotons alive as Houseplants in Hawaii because it seems bug love attacking this plant. I suspect it came from the garden center with scale bugs, but I already found a spot for it outside.

Yr video is awesome I too have the same plant mine is huge and beautiful and have no problems with it at all. It's near a north east windows with blinds on them and by that I control the lighting not to come in really strong but it likes sunlight nevertheless. My question is when u immersed yr plant in alcohol what were those floating things in the liquid? it look like tiny fish..
Hello, Angela
I drowned my plant in the koi pond. No kois were harmed, but thelittle guppies had fun. I think the snails and the guppies picked off the insects on the plant or the insects just drowned and fell off, but I think it was the former.

I used rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle & a q-tip
Hello Iddybiddy,
I got to the point where I wanted to smash and destroy every bug on that plant. My nerves were frayed and I wanted to annihilate every bug on that plant. A Q-tip would have been too nice. I wanted to squish the life out of those bugs. Wow! The violence.... I'm calm now.
Anyways...

I just received mine in the mail and the leaves will not purp up. The soil is moist but I think it might be in shock from the travel to my house. It is currently 21 degrees in New York. I'll see if there is a contact number for the nursery. Don't know what else to do.
Hello Dawn
Keep the plant away from cold drafts, keep it away from the heater. let it sit out this winter. just keep it alive. if the leaves fall out, just let it go, and probably best not to water it until the soil is completely dry. in the spring is your best chance to turn this plant around.
Good luck, I know how hard it is to see anything suffer.
Try to have a happy and healthy holiday

Hello,

I get rid of those bugs with a strong spray of water and than spray with a mixture of soap and alcohol. The alcohol drys out the shells of the bug.
Where do the insects, pets, come from if the plants are located in a balcony?
Hello, Enrique
I know! That's not fair, but if a bug is hungry enough, they will find you, and if the plants are stressed, they give of a scent that attracts pests.
I’m sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a challenging and difficult year.

Can I use Alaskan fish fertilizer on ALL my indoor plants ?
Yes you can, but remember that it will smell like fish for about a day. Also remember that women have a better sense of smell, so it may be more than a day.
I hate fish smell, so I dilute the fish fertilizer and water the plants on the patio in the evening, then I let it stay there over night. In the morning I get up early to light hose the plants down, and before the sun gets too hot, I bring them inside.
Hope this helps.

scale bugs, mealy bugs and thrips are a nightmare. Do spiders eat them?
Spiders are a nightmare!😲🥺!!! Just hose the underside of the leaves, one evening, and then leave it outside overnight to dry (if it's not too cold)

I have had spider mites on a couple of my croutons. Neem oil, dish soap and water and a makeup brush to brush off all adds. WARNING!! NEEM OIL WILL ABSOLUTELY KILL BENEFICIAL BUGS IF USING IT ON OUTDOOR PLANTS!!! Be careful using outdoors.
Hello,
What worked, after trying all you said, was killing the ants. I had Terminix spray for roaches, and they offered to spray for "pests" and after the ants disappeared, the aphids, scales, and mealy bugs seemed to have gone away.
Sorry it took this long for me to reply. It’s been a long and challenging year. I hope you are doing well.
Wishing you good health and happiness always,
Gerald😊
Alot of people say crotons don't like drafts, warm OR cold but if they thrive outside...how could that be? Is that false information?
Hello, Banana Fana
Aloha from Hawaii! I hope you had a good day. Thank you for visiting me. It really means a lot to me.
Crotons are a tropical plant, so they thrive in bright sun, but they do better if they get some shelter from the brigth sun outside. As an indoor plant, they need bright light and can handle periods of direct light. They can handle the heat, but I don't think they can handle the cold. I hope this helps, my dear friend.
Again, thank you for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊
Your friend,
Gerald😊
I always check the clearance plants at the Iwilei Home Depot when I go there. There was one time I saw a plant there--I don't remember what kind of plant--that was covered in scale bugs. I mean the stems were just fully covered. I was aghast. I assume that's why they had it in clearance. Very inappropriate. They shouldn't have had it anywhere but in the trash. No one was around for me to point it out to, unfortunately, and I was in a hurry. I hope someone ignorant of pest didn't buy it. I picked up a Pele's Fire croton at Times in a four inch pot. I just love that plant. It's getting leggy, though, so I have to figure out how to get it to bush out. It really looks like fire. Interesting plants pop up at Times sometimes. I picked up a variegated ohi'a abut five inches tall there in a four inch pot for $5! I guess it was probably a cutting. It's now a gorgeous tree about seven feet high in my front yard. You really have to keep your eyes open for those rare finds.
So do they like direct sun light or not lol
Hey, Edgar😊
Crotons love full sun, but when they're sick or struggling, they need a break.

Hello Gerald, took your advice and took my croton out with spider web. I accidentally knocked John (name of croton). It’s funny, I don’t know any Johns so it’s the biblical character John! Sooo, The wilting is quite obvious but you’re making me nervous!
John is on my balcony , but it’s getting cool here in Michigan! Sooo, it shall be outside for a while. I saw nooo spider mites when mine was dropped!
I have nooo reservations that it could be mites! Gerald ,will Neem Oil help with the spider webs?
Please help me with this issue and guess the other croton( Joshua)😌 will join its buddy😞. I have a beautiful vibrant one facing South and loves it! Crotons enjoy misting but I may not mist daily, just precautionary.
Well keep fingers crossed and hopefully I will hear from you soon! It’s Friday! So, will leave them alone and hope
Take care you!
Good afternoon, Denice
I'm not sure about crotons specifically, but most tropical plants do well >60*F, and they struggle in cooler temperatures.
Maybe the spider webs are from spiders. I hope your croton recovers.
Take care, my friend
Gerald:)
wow! супер!
Вы очень щедры. Спасибо за ваши добрые слова
Vy ochen' shchedry. Spasibo za vashi dobryye slova
Lovely... whenever my plants get those bugs or fungus I mix bleach, vinegar and soap water in water and spray the plants before you know it they're all gone.
Hello, Rosanne
Aloha from Hawaii!
I hope you are well. This “quarantine” is taking it’s toll on me.
I'm lucky the bugs haven't come back, but my other plant is struggling.The scales are keep coming back. I'm using only natural environmentally safe sprays, but I'm soon going to go to chemicals... at least I feel like it. Don't know if I'm going to pull that trigger.
Wishing you strength and good health,
Friends,
Gerald😊
@@PlantsaremyTherapy hello Gerald thank you for replying best wishes to you and your family in this crucial time in the world today we just have to keep praying... I'm glad to know that the bugs haven't returned, as for the scales at least try my remedy on a few for safe measures if you want because it really worked for me. 1. The soap will help to stick the mixture to the plants while still helping to get rid of the scales.
2.The vinegar will help in lifting the scales just as it dirtiness from tile and surfaces, yet still working with the acidic taste.
3. The bleach will help further with the fumes and taste...
Add a little of each in water and watch it work. I which you good luck.

Cheap, that's me ,I buy my plant from a Catalog and they comes small as baby plants but are cheaper, have been doing that a long time
Hello, Vera
I tried ordering from catalogs, but my job hours are so strenuous and the needs of my grandchildren as so unpredictable, that I may not be able to get to my mailed plants as fast as I need. It's been over a year, and my curry tree is only 8 inches tall.
I haven’t been on UA-cam for quite some time. It’s been a challenging year and I had to tend to family.
I hope you will be able to visit me when you have time.
Wishing you good health and happiness always,
Gerald😊

Spray it with viger water mixture
Aloha from Hawaii!
I'll try that, but the plant, for some reason, is doing quite well and hasn't been infested for months. It's about five feet tall now.
