Description

The Croton, native to Asia, is one of the easiest houseplants to maintain, ideal for adding a touch of color and life to any space.
With its multi-colored variegated leaves, it is highly prized in interior decoration.
Although it does not tolerate direct sun, as it could burn its leaves and affect its coloration, it needs a well-lit space to thrive.
Croton should be watered regularly and abundantly to keep the humidity high and prevent the leaf tips from drying out.
In winter, water once every four to five days; in summer, increase the frequency to two to three times a week.
This plant does best in medium to warm temperatures, being very sensitive to cold.
The ideal temperature is between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius.
In addition, Croton requires additional nutrients to stay healthy and vibrant.
Fertilize your Croton twice a month with a liquid fertilizer dissolved in the irrigation water to ensure optimal growth and development.
