Crotons are famous for their striking leaves, which come in shades of yellow, red, orange, and green. Their bold colors add life and energy to any space, making them a visual showstopper.
To keep your Croton thriving, place it in a spot with plenty of bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so a well-lit room is ideal for this colorful plant.
Crotons like to be kept moderately moist. Water them when the top inch of soil is dry, but avoid overwatering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent water from collecting at the bottom.
Crotons prefer high humidity. If your home is dry, increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a water-filled pebble tray.
Calatheas prefer warmer temperatures. Avoid placing them near cold drafts or in temperatures below 60°F (15°C). Keeping them in a warm spot will ensure healthy growth and vibrant leaves.
Crotons do best in warm environments. Keep them in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C) and avoid placing them in areas with drafts or sudden temperature changes.
Watch for pests like spider mites and aphids, which love Gloxinia's leaves. Regularly inspect and use insecticidal soap if needed to keep these unwelcome guests away.
