Re: Repotting croton?
I don't think they're picky, at all. However, with almost all cuttings, you would be better off rooting them in a mix of half peat moss, and half perlite. It would help if you dipped them in hormone first. The biggest trick is to keep them moist, but not soggy. You mentioned something about an old fish tank. This would be ideal. Place the mix in pots or a tray, put something in the bottom of the aquarium, so the pots, or tray are slightly raised. Water the pots, after you stick the cuttings, and place in the aquarium. Add a little water to the tank, to maintain moisture. (make sure that the bottoms of the pots are not sitting in the water.) Put a glass, or plastic, cover on the tank, and place in good light (not direct sun). Open the cover, for an hour or so, every few days, to give it some air, and to check moisture levels. Should take about 6 weeks.
