Croton plant is a tropical plant with the most amazing orange and yellow leaf foliage.  The leave tend to be glossy and oval shaped with colours ranging from red, orange, yellow and dark green, quite a lot of colour for one plant!

Watering:  Likes soil to be kept slightly moist and prefers to be misted every few days.  The plant will drink plenty of water so in hotter months it's advisable to water them 2/3 times a week.  Allow top soil to dry out then water.  Use lukewarm water rather than cold water to help suit it's own tropical natural conditions.
