Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI never knew Banana crotons flowered. I had to do some research to find out they do flower. I have had this plant for 2-1/2 yrs and repotted it once and then I saw this flower spike. At the base of where the spike was attached there is also something growing that is cone shaped.
The night after I took the attached pictures I watered my plant as usual. That evening the flower spike completely fell off. What happened? The cone shaped thing is still attached.
Please help.

Perhaps the plant is not getting the humidity it requires or you may have a case of spider mites. You may want to review the plant's growing conditions listed in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/croton/care-croton-plants.htm [1]
Another possibility is that this is the natural behavior of the plant. I'm including a link that addresses, in general, why blooms drop from plants, and hope this helps: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/why-healthy-blooms-fall.htm [2]
