Watering is crucial for Croton care, hailing from tropical regions, it thrives in consistently moist soil. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as it can be detrimental to the plant's health. However, overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is not waterlogged. Check soil moisture weekly, watering when it starts to dry out. In summer, increase watering frequency to twice a week. Remember, the water needs may vary depending on the plant's environment. Croton care isn't always a walk in the park, but the effort pays off!

Crotons thrive in ample sunlight, enjoying direct sunlight for several hours daily. However, during peak heat hours, it's advisable to shield them from intense sunlight to prevent leaf burn, particularly in summer. Avoid placing them near heaters, as this can also cause leaf damage. Increased exposure to sunlight results in brighter foliage. To enhance color, move darker Crotons closer to windows temporarily. Ideally, position them about three meters from south-facing windows and one meter from windows facing west, north, or east. Crotons tend to lean towards light, so rotating them regularly helps maintain their upright growth.

During summer, Crotons benefit from supplemental nutrition, such as standard houseplant fertilizer. As winter approaches, they enter a dormant phase like other houseplants, requiring no additional feeding.
