Care Tips

Light

• Crotons develop their best leaf color when kept in bright light
• Outdoors, they prefer partial sun, with shade for several hours each day
• Full midday sun in the summer can dry and damage the plants

 

Water

• Crotons need regular moisture and do best in well-drained, organically rich, slightly acid soil
• Although consistently dry soil can damage the plants, they also do poorly in areas where water tends to stand and soil is often soggy
• Less water during winter months to allow the plant a period of rest

 

Fertilizer

• Need weekly fertilizing during the growing season
• Fertilizer should be cut back during the winter months to allow the plant a period of rest
• A balanced fertilizer formula is fine for these plants, but they can also benefit from occasional feeding with an acid-type formula designed for azaleas

 

Temperature & Humidity

• Prefer temperatures between 15°C to 30°C
• Keep it outdoors during warm weather in cool regions
• Crotons cannot tolerate temperatures below about 7°C for any length of time, and should be moved indoors when weather cools
• Since they are semi-tropical, they also prefer a humid environment
