Frequently asked questions

Why is my croton losing colour? Not enough light. Crotons need bright light to keep their vivid orange and red tones; in shade they turn mostly green.

Why is it dropping leaves? Crotons dislike sudden moves and drafts. After relocating, some leaf drop is normal – keep light and watering steady and it will recover.

Can I grow croton on an open balcony in India? Yes – crotons love the bright, warm conditions of Indian balconies and terraces, which intensify their colour.
