You mean 150 cultivars not varieties.

Sure looks like you are indeed growing most of them in full sun. Your
interpretation of shade is still far more light than most northerners get.

Anyway, that amount of sunlight is not something you can do in a house or an
office, dude.

Still, we may never be able to locate DS's plant's next of kin to notify it
of it sibling's untimely passing. The funeral is already long over by now.
Any debate at this point is moot.

Provide a link to a picture of what you are calling croton so that we
can
be
sure to which plant it is you allude.

My garden features 150 different varieties: http://www.fawnridge.com/ricky

A cultivar is man-made. A variety is naturally occuring. Only 2 of my
crotons are cultivars, the rest are varieities.

interpretation of shade is still far more light than most northerners get.

The stuff on the south side of the garden does get more sun than the rest of
the crotons. The yellow varieties can tolerate more sun than the other
colors.

That's for sure!

RIP.

Time for you to brush up on your botanical nomenclature. That is not the
definition for botanical variety.
A botanical variety is a discreet wild population and a subset of a species.

A cultivar is a clone selected by man for its aesthetic horticultural or
agricultural merit and can be made artificially (man-made), from plants
appearing spontaneously in the garden or even selected from plants occurring
in the wild. A cultivar is not representative of the wild population of the
species, subspecies or botanical variety and can even be of hybrid origin.

All your croton are cultivars.

So you are saying that you are aware of the definition of cultivar but you
just don't comprehend what it means?

It would be a much better idea to keep you as far away as possible from
any
more plants you could kill.

You need to learn the basic skills for taking care of plants first.

Croton are tricky to grow and not a plant for rank beginners.



I think that is a little harsh! He said he moved and was probably expecting
someone to look after them for him. Not his fault really!

Ben




saw a bunch of crotons for sale at home depot yesterday.

(as well as a $5 hoop for holding paper bags in place while you fill them,
for whoever asked about that)

Look who's talking.

Hey Moe, where are you other two stooge buddies?

Have you read from the book of Moroni today?

Why not jerk yourself a soda while you're at it?

Yes, this Cereus-validus appears to be quite the moronic jerk.
Another addition to the kill-file, sigh.

From my short time on the group, I have drawn a different conclusion-- he's quite the highly
intelligent jerk. Great source of info, ****-poor people skills.
