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.
