# Hello all! I was hoping for some help with a propagation: My friend…

Hello all! I was hoping for some help with a propagation:  
My friend wants a baby of the plant shown below and I’m not sure how to prop it.. I have it in the app as a Croton Plant and I’m just not sure if there’s a special way to snip it! Thanks so much!

hi!! for crotons, ensure the stem is 4-6 inches long, remove leaves on the bottom two inches, and let it callous for a day or two before putting in water. they take a while to root, just remember, if it's not dying it's doing something !
