Cultivation methods and precautions of Croton

1. Breeding methods

1. Watering: It has high requirements for water. It is relatively drought-resistant, but needs a lot of water. From April to September, not only should it be watered with plenty of water, but some water should also be sprayed on its leaves. However, water accumulation should not be caused, otherwise the roots of the plant will easily rot.

2. Light: It prefers light, but cannot be kept under direct light. You can put it indoors, in a place with diffused light.

3. Temperature: It is afraid of cold and cannot grow in cold places, as it will freeze the plant. The wintering temperature is between 10-15℃. If the temperature drops to this level, the leaves will fall off.

4. Fertilizer: It likes fertilizer, which should be applied once every 15 days. Apply decomposed fertilizer. Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, as too much will cause the leaves to lose luster.

2. Precautions

1. It is best not to apply fertilizer in late autumn to avoid the growth of new shoots.

2. It is easy to attract insects during maintenance, so pay attention to spraying pesticides and do not let the insects stay on the plants for a long time.
