my girl bought this croton for my B-day. I pretty much botched it from day one, and I lost most of it's leaves (not all. still looks good). it's now recouping under proper care. there are 3 crotons in the pot. should I separate them next spring, or keep them together?

Whoa! Slow down! :lol:

I would separate the crotons, I think. Crotons are bushy, shrubby plants, even when grown indoors, sometimes reaching 3' tall and almost as wide. One type can grow to 8' tall. I think one Croton per container would be plenty. :)
