Characteristics

Crotons are a common houseplant most recognizable by their striking foliage, especially the Oakleaf Croton. This tropical plant has brilliant-colored leaves that begin a bright yellow and transition to magenta and red as they age. The leaves are thick and leathery and can be anywhere from 2 to 12 inches long.

How to Care for Crotons

  • Light: Bright to moderate filtered light. If a Croton is getting too little light, its newer leaves will be less colorful.
  • Water Preferences: Water thoroughly and allow the plant to significantly dry out between watering.
  • Special Care/Notes: Especially prone to spider mites, it is best to work in insecticidal soap preventative care every now and then. Gently wipe the leaves with a moist cloth twice a month to keep them clean and dust-free.

To ensure plants are delivered with the most care, we ship plants Monday-Wednesday. Plants purchased after Wednesday or over the weekend will be shipped on the following Monday. Check out our shipping policies for more information. Thank you!

"Just wanted to give a shout-out to both Megan and Cole who planted a new tree for us. It was hot when they were planting but they took time to make sure the placement was perfect. They also were great in explaining the maintenance that will be needed. Very professional and super attitudes…..great employees!"
