Wekiva Foliage Croton Collection

These plants require bright, unfiltered light to maintain their vibrant variegation. While they can tolerate some partial shade, placing them in a spot with plenty of bright, indirect light or full sun is essential to prevent the leaves from fading to solid green.

No, these plants are not pet-friendly. Crotons contain a milky sap that can be irritating or toxic if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best to place them in an area your pets cannot access.

These plants prefer moderate moisture. Water them when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, but be careful not to let them sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Crotons are generally considered an intermediate-level plant. They can be a bit finicky about changes in environment, such as drafts or sudden temperature drops, so they require a consistent, warm, and humid spot to truly thrive.

Yes, they can be kept outdoors, but only if you live in or are experiencing warm, tropical-like conditions. Since they are rated for USDA Hardiness Zone 9, they should be brought back inside well before temperatures drop below 50°F.

It is best to let the plants acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before repotting. They are currently in 4-inch pots, which are perfect for tabletop display, so you have plenty of time to find the right permanent home for them.
