I live in the Caribbean and love tropical plants but crotons are my favorite, they have such vibrant colors

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Wow love the Caribbean

@@Urbanscapegardening yup, Barbados, where we don't have to bother about changing seasons

101candlelight me too! Isn’t it funny to hear how others pronounce it? They say it like ‘crouton’ ^_^

As always, this video too is precise and articulate in its presentation and so useful in its content ... many thanks, USB ! I am a relatively new gardener, and having honed my skills a little bit, decided to add crotons to my terrace garden. After having picked up a bunch of them and repotting them, I ran into trouble, but naturally !! So who do I turn to, except my favourite Gardening Master, Mr USB 😊 All issues solved ... thank you Sir😁

Awww so sweet Anila 😍

I enjoy watching your video. I had a croton and I think I water it too much. So all the leaves fell out. You have a wonderful and blessed day.

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Thanks. You have a nice day too

[@cillamoke]

Awesome, informative and useful content, thank you xx

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Thanks 😊

I live in Thane, Mumbai, plz guide me sir, Will it survive properly in direct sunlight of 2-3 hrs daily in winter seasons... Bz as it is indoor plant, do v need to keep it inside without direct sunlight?

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Yes it prefers indirect sun

[@XShellyz]

Do the new leaves always start out green and yellow and then change over time to darker green and oranges?

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Yes most likely

[@michaelromero1873]

Some varieties do not change color.

[@vishvish4092]

Hubby brought me a wonderful croton, today. I'll make sure not to over water 😅

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Yes please 😊

[@vidhirai2534]

Is this plant survive in 5 to 6 hours full sunlight ?

[@Urbanscapegardening]

It can but the leaves will be stressed and burnt

[@Mad-i134]

Any clues of why my Crotons that have been planted leaves droop, discolor into a whitish color? Live in the Southern California area. Thanx

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Is it being attacked by pests? If it under stress it can do this

[@Mad-i134]

@@Urbanscapegardening my only guess is the heat. It has been between 95 degrees to 105 degrees

[@Urbanscapegardening]

@@Mad-i134 yes very likely. They tend to bleach under intense heat

Mine was drooping and I watered it , 3 hrs later it perked up again :)

[@unapologeticallyme5390]

I live in Bangalore. Bought a croton recently. It was doing well and the leaves grew, but I noticed the top 3 leaves drooping. I watered the plant and they looked better, but after 2 days they have drooped again. The soil is still damp. Not sure what's going on with my plant. 😒

[@Urbanscapegardening]

This likes shade and less watering and water only when the soil dries

[@kashmiripundit5455]

hi , can add green tea leaves to the soil ?

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Ofcourse

[@kashmiripundit5455]

@@Urbanscapegardening thanks for the reply and guidance .

[@alinajustme11]

I left my crotons under direct sunlight outside (its not even that hot yet only 23 celsius )and its leaves started t droop quiet dramatically. This happened to both my croton plants btw.
i want to acclimate them since i was planning to make them outdoor plants and leave them in my balcony for the summer but now i'm not sure they gonna survive the Greek summer .
If they can't even handle 23 c lol how they gonna survive when the temperature reaches 30 c and over My balcony is southwest facing i can't find plants that can live on it , the summer here obliterates them :(

[@Urbanscapegardening]

Try Cordylines

[@anganachakraborty2443]

I really want to keep in a certain corner of a room but that does not receive any sunlight 🙁 Can I keep my plant in the morning sun for 2-3 hours and put it in the spot I mentioned?

[@Urbanscapegardening]

No sorry that would shock the plant..it needs max 6 hrs of indirect sun atleast

[@anganachakraborty2443]

@@Urbanscapegardening ok!! Thank you so much for your reply!!!!

[@Urbanscapegardening]

No problem 😊

[@sonysingh5638]

Moving this plant from one room to another can be done?

[@Urbanscapegardening]

It could be shocked but if it's a bright location u can

[@chandermohansingh11]
