Care tips
Crotons thrive in high humidity and consistent warmth, so avoid placing them in drafty areas or near air conditioning vents. If the plant begins to drop leaves, it is often a sign of sudden temperature changes or inconsistent watering. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them free of dust and pests.
