Nothing quite compares to the bright and unique foliage of the croton. It proudly boasts a range of leaves from broad and elliptical to more slender, some even corkscrew shaped. These leaves come in a huge range of colours, making it a striking addition to your collection.
*Pot size 13.5cm. Toxic to pets.*
Watering
Keep the soil slightly moist at all times. Check the top few inches of soil and if it feels dry, give the plant a water. It does not like to be dried out and will also benefit from some misting.
Lighting
Bright, indirect light is best for this plant, but not direct sun or it will scorch the leaves.
