Blozem Hints🪴
🌿Keep it colourful! If you notice the new growth is more on the green side, love your plant with some fertiliser and lots of bright light near a south-facing window.
🌿Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Do not use leaf shine as this will damage the foliage.
Cut back to size if they become too tall.
🌿Brrr! If you’re seeing excessive leaf drop, it’s likely your Croton is too cold.
Consider relocating to a warmer, more humid spot like the bathroom or kitchen.
