• Water: During the summer months Crotons require frequent waterings. Crotons prefer to have their soil stay moist. We water our Crotons as soon as the top soil shows it is dry. We also mist our leaves frequently to keep them nice and happy. the more light they ge tth emore water they will require. During the winter months, they require less water. Again wait until the top soil is dry and then give them a drink. We reccomend using a pot that has good drainage to help avoid root rot.
• Temperatures: The Croton likes it warm and hot. But, not cold. Crotons thrive in temepatures above 65 F. If it gets below 60 F your Croton will start dying rather quickly.
