I have some banana crotons and would like to try to start more. I did a search here and couldn't find anything about propagating crotons. Do you just start with stem cuttings? or can you do it with leaf cuttings? Soil or water rooting?

Thnaks for any info

My luck has only been with 5-6 inch tip/softwood cuttings planted in soil. Apply rooting hormone to the cut and plant in
appropriate soil mix. Success rate is about 70% when I have tried.
