Answer
Hello,

I am an expert in the care of houseplants, including Crotons. However, I am not a biologist nor a botanist, so I cannot explain the biological processes involved in root development. I do know only that the hormones that produce roots are triggered when the stem nodes are in contact with constant moisture - either water or damp soil. Beyond that, I cannot help you.

I suggest that you find a botanist to help you with your research.

Regards,
Will Creed
