Message: [QUOTE="Luis_pr, post: 196151, member: 10954"] Crotons are very sturdy plants but I agree with the others that it is normally best to stabilize plants originating from the "rejected" section first. The roots were disturbed by repotting (more so if you had to root prune it) so it may "pout" for a while. Hopefully, it will be fine but no guarantees. The roots do not grow that fast so waiting a week and a half for improvements is not practical. Weeks/months is more like it, considering that there is now less sunlight with each passing day. The best you can do is provide stable TLC. They like humidity and light so start making plans for winter (place near windows or grow lights, maintain the soil moist, not wet, etc). I used to have a 4' hedge that was never watered due to local rains. They probably got mostly part shade but the ends received close to 6++ hours of sun (depends on the variety). Do not fertilize when stressed; maybe wait until later if it already had fertilizers. If not fertilized, use half the normal amount or a weak formulation like liquid seaweed. Then start fertilizing in Spring with a slow release fertilizer. Make sure you do not overwater and that the drainage holes are working.
