Plant Features:
Crotons are native to the tropical areas of Malaysia, Southern Asia and the Pacific Islands. Crotons love high light. Keep these plants in well lit area so they grow bushy. Thier colors will be most brilliant in high light conditions. Leaf shapes and colors seem nearly endless when it comes to crotons. One can find a range of leaf shapes from broad and oval to thin and feathery. Crotons do well as landscape plants (tropical areas), and container plants.
