Common Name:
Croton

Light:
Bright Light

Water:
Keep moist

Origins:
Southeastern Asia








Crotons are very bight colored leaves of orange, yellow, and red. They add alot of color and brightness to your interior. If they get too tall just trim it and it will grow new shoots from the sides of the stem. They like bright light. Eastern or Western is probably best. don't let them get too dry. They like to be kept moist. If the leaves start to droop down than you probably need to water it. They like higher humidity so mist a couple times a week. You can propagate in water or moist soil with root hormone. They require a little more care but are worth it.
