About this plant

Croton

Indoors: Bright indirect sunlight

Outdoors: Humid, sub-tropical regions

Requires consistent temperature. 

 

Keep soil evenly moist not soggy. Do not let the pot sit in water that has drained in to the saucer as this will cause root rot. 

Enjoys humidity between 50-80%.

Note: Each individual plant is unique. This image is an example only, however the plant you receive will be as close as possible to this image description. 

Note: Stem length indicated above  is a guide to the estimated length rather than an exact length that you will receive.

Questions

Good to know

How big is the plant?

A plant in a 15cm grow pot. Every plant is unique; the photo shows the size to expect.

Why is it dropping leaves after arriving?

Crotons react to moves and temperature changes. Keep it in a bright, steady spot and it will settle.

Can it grow outdoors in Johannesburg?

Only in summer in a sheltered spot; bring it in before the cold, as frost kills it.
