It never needed watering, always remained fresh. Some weeks later, we found the end pat part of the stem full of while white roots. So, we dug a hole and plant them. And that's how we saw many crotons around the houses. Croton grows even by it branches - just break and pierce into the ground ideally during monsoon. * Like Saibinn, there was also a traditon where some people used to bring home an image of St. Anthony (the statue was at least 100-200 years old), Milagrose Saibinn traditon is for 1 day stay where as Sant Anton for 13 days. It needed booking well in advance sometimes 6-12 months. The miraculous St. Anton was from our place, Utorda.
