The croton plant is a perennial evergreen shrub that’s native to tropical regions of India and Malaysia. These striking plants are multicolored with thick, leathery leaves and a distinct variegated pattern. A croton’s bright colors are its most recognizable feature, and these shades will vary from one croton variety to another, ranging from green and gold to blue-green and pink. While all mature crotons possess these vibrant colors, the leaves will darken as the plants age, eventually turning almost black.
The name “croton” itself is derived from the Greek word for tick, since the heavy veins that criss-cross the leaves bear a striking resemblance to these insects. This name is pronounced phonetically, and sounds like “crow-tun.” Crotons are commonly confused with a plant called Rushfoil but don’t be fooled. Rushfoil is a subspecies of crotons — one of the many different varieties that fall into this larger plant family.
Croton height will vary slightly depending on the variety. Most will be around 3 feet tall although some can grow as tall as 10 feet. Dwarf varieties exist as well, and these will be much shorter. Crotons are also exceptionally full plants, with the large leaves growing in clusters to give the plant greater volume.

Where Should I Keep my Crotons?
Whether you decide to keep your crotons inside or out, make sure to place them in a spot where they’ll get plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Without this, those gorgeous colors will quickly begin to fade.
To plant crotons in a pot, begin by choosing a planter with several drainage holes that is roughly one third larger than the croton’s root ball. Fill the container about a third of the way full of potting soil before carefully nesting the ball on top of this soil bed. Continue adding soil around and over the roots until the pot is full and the roots are buried about an inch below the surface. Water the plant, let it drain and then set it in its new home in a sunny location.
It’s crucial to remember that crotons favor a warm, humid environment. If you’re planting them in a very different climate, your goal is to mimic these conditions as much as possible. To achieve this, the soil in which crotons are planted should remain moist but not soaking, particularly during the spring and summer when crotons will be doing most of their growing. To judge if the plant needs water, feel the soil. If it’s starting to feel dry and crumbly, give it a little water. If it still feels moist to the touch, it probably has all the water it needs.
If you’ve felt the croton’s soil and still can’t determine whether or not it needs water, let the plant’s foliage be your guide. If the leaves are drooping or curling up, that’s their way of asking you for more water. If they’re perked upright, however, they’re probably doing just fine. If the air inside your home is especially dry, or if you have the croton planted outside and live in an arid environment, you may need to water it a little more often. You may even want to mist the leaves with a spray bottle to keep the leaves healthy and growing.
Remember that just as crotons should not be allowed to dry out, neither should they be kept too wet. Too much water can rot the roots and kill the plant just as easily as if it had been left too dry.

How to Care for Your Croton Plant
Botanical NameCroton tigliumCommon Name Variegated Laurel
One of the best and charming houseplants because it appears in a variety of colors, leaf shapes, and sizes. Learn how to care for your Croton plant.
The Croton plant, also called “garden croton,” is popular for its exotic appearance because of its bold and bright foliage. Similar to the Fiddle Leaf Fig, it also has a reputation for being fussy and high maintenance, but in reality, this tropical plant is easy-to-grow and hard-to-kill, if you know how to care for your Croton plant.
Fun Fact: The seeds from the Croton plant are used to make medicine for emptying and cleansing the stomach and intestines and treating blocked intestines, colic, gallbladder problems, and malaria. However, experts believe that Croton seeds are unsafe, especially for women who are pregnant.
There are only a few houseplants that are as striking or vivid as the Croton plant. Native to Australia and Southeast Asia, this vibrant houseplant is an attention stealer because of its broad and glossy green leaves splashed with black, cream, orange, pink, purple, red, or yellow. However, to maintain its colorful leaves, you should choose the right location for your Croton plant where it will receive the right type of sunlight.
As we have mentioned that the Croton plant has a reputation for being fussy and high maintenance, and that’s because they tend to make a bad first impression, especially for new owners of this plant. We have heard stories that the Croton plant has lost some of its foliage in its new home. Don’t be shocked if this happens because it’s normal Croton behavior.
Similar to the Fiddle Leaf Fig, it doesn’t like to be moved because it causes shock and stress, which results in leaf loss. However, once your Croton plant has adjusted, and you have provided proper care, it will flourish and prove to be a resilient houseplant.

Song of the Day: May 11
"Natalie” by Bruno Mars
#song of the day#a very very rare event today: Nick recommended a song to me!#he really likes the beat and he thought I'd appreciate the bridge which he demonstrated for me as#'I shoulda known better (I shoulda known better) / cause when we were together (cause when we were together)#she never said forever (she never said forever) / I'm a fool that played in her game / *Bruno Mars sound*'#it was a pretty good Bruno Mars sound I gotta say. recognizable#also today we went to the reptile show!!!! it was wonderful I got to see so many snakes and pet so many plants#I got a new plant even though I don't have room (had to rearrange two tables so it can get appropriate light)#it's a croton variant they call it 'picasso' because instead of normal leaf shapes they're very long and thin and look like a paintbrush!!#we did not get a frog for Duncan#we're reconsidering what kind he might want and how feasible different ones might be

January 10th is Houseplant Appreciation Day! 💚
I am so thankful to have found such a fascination and love for taking care of plants. I have enjoyed plants since I was little, but it wasn't until I brought home an aloe vera the summer of 2021 when I felt my connection to plants really blossom. They give me so much joy, especially whenever I bring a plant home that isn't feeling so well and I get to provide the nourishment it needs to watch it bounce back up. We are about halfway through the cold season, and once the cold and dark hours lighten up, I am excited to see what growth my plants and I will achieve this year. 💚 I'm hoping to post more original posts onto this side blog as well!
