Croton Petra House Plant in Black Ceramic Cylinder Planter

Water the plant thoroughly when soil is dry until the water flows out the bottom of the pot. Wilting for a Croton means too much water.

For best results, use a general houseplant fertilizer once in early spring, once in early summer, and again in mid-summer. Do not feed in the fall or winter.

Needs lots of sunlight, 4-6 hours per day, if possible. Use a commercial potting soil designed to provide good drainage, and a pot with unobstructed drainage holes.
