# Hi everyone! I am totally new with plants and could really use some…

Hi everyone! I am totally new with plants and could really use some advice. I was given a Croton (I think that’s what my friend said and she promptly went on vacation, LOL). One of my dogs ran through it and this ‘branch’ broke. Will this grow if I put it in water? Do I put anything in the water? I hate for it to die if it doesn’t have too. I would welcome any advice. Seriously, talk to me like I’m 5. LOL!

Put in the water and it should grow after awhile. Be patient, some plants take a while! Some people put fertilizer in it to help it more, but it’s not necessary. Good luck! You also may want to trim any long branches to prevent your dog running through it in the future. Hope it helps!

Lol. Thank you. Unless he breaks the table he can’t get to it. Of course he has broken a couple of tables. He’s a sweetheart but has no manners.
