Light
Your Croton LOVES the sun and would really quite like to bask in it all day. Your efforts will be rewarded with stunning colours.
Water
She will enjoy a good watering in a pot with plenty of drainage. Let the top of the soil go dry in between waterings as she won’t appreciate being over watered.
Humidity
Croton Nervias are a tropical plant so would love a good dose of humidity. You can pop her in the bathroom, a warm conservatory or even in an indoor swimming pool (if you’re swish like that). Give her going over with a regular misting.
Temperature
She likes the warm, so keep her warm. 17 degrees and above will keep her in best shape.
Food
If you want to feed her then you can feed her once in early spring and then once again in late spring.
Toxicity
Unfortunately she is a toxic species. So keep her away from pets and small children.
