Croton 10 inch

Crotons are vibrant, colorful plants that thrive indoors with proper care! Here’s what they need:

🌞 Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Too little light can cause dull colors, while too much direct sun can scorch the leaves. A south- or east-facing window is ideal.

💦 Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Crotons are sensitive to underwatering and overwatering, so maintain balance.

💨 Humidity: Crotons love high humidity! If your home is dry, mist the leaves, use a pebble tray, or run a humidifier.

🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (65-80°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as crotons are sensitive to shock.

🌱 Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as a peat-based mix with added perlite or sand.

🌿 Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

🍂 Leaf Drop: Crotons may drop leaves when moved or stressed but will bounce back with consistent care.

🪴 Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when root-bound.

⚠️ Toxicity: Crotons are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep them out of reach.
