One of my crotons completely lost all leaves and its babies:(  
I cut the dead off, but what’s left of it still good?  
It started acting weird as soon as I put it in one of these self watering plastic pots..  
Also, it has mold all in the soil..  
Will NOT buy those again, ceramic/terracotta pots is the best!!!

Some of the self watering pots are really horrible.
