Planting & Care

Plant your Sunny Star Croton in a well-draining potting mix and place it where it receives bright, indirect light or a few hours of gentle morning sun. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and empty any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot. Croton plants appreciate moderate to high humidity, so misting or placing the pot near a humidity tray can help keep foliage looking its best.

If growing outdoors, choose a protected spot in warm, frost-free climates. Bring container plants indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F. Feed lightly during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, and wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and healthy.
