As you may or may not know, the Croton Plant has a claim to fame as to being one of the most difficult plants out there to care for, and for good reason. However if you have ever seen a full grown Croton Plant/Tree in all of its wonder and beauty, you'd fully understand why so many put this claim behind them in an attempt to grow one of these misunderstood beauties for themselves. If you have one, more specifically the Gold Dust Croton or plan on getting one, don't let this claim scare you off from these great plants, instead watch my video and learn what it takes to keep these beauties alive and thriving! Plant Prudently!

Love the croton plant. Looks great with the beautiful leaves and braided stems. And the fact that it's a bonsai makes it that much more unique. I have a general question about determining when your plant needs watering. You always mention sticking your finger into the soil to the first or second knuckle. I use a moisture probe equipped with a moisture content dial and metal rod which is inserted into the soil. This works especially well with my potted cacti since I can penetrate deep into the pot to check for moisture, as well as saving my fingers from being pricked by the needles. What is your opinion of moisture probes? With a bit of practice, I find it works it works well.

Hi.good to see you again! I have not had good success with crotons here in IL...stopped trying. Odd,since I grow orchids and rare plants pretty well. It is a good-looking plant. Always good presentation from you. Wish you'd post more often. Fall coming soon...get ready!!

last year I put my croton outside with the idea of bringing it in in the morning. naturally, that was the day I slept in, and when I got up at noon, it was in horrible condition, all drooped down. I got him in right away, and watered him, and some of it's leaves perked up, but over the following days, almost all, if not all, I can't remember of it's leaves dropped down. fortunately, as it was shedding these leaves, two new ones popped out, and they were not scorched by sun at all, so they were fine, and kept him alive. it now has about the same amount of leaf mass, except in the upper part of the plant, and it spent this entire summer outside with friends, but this year I kept it in the shadow of other plants rather than moving him in and out, and it was fine. I'd say it's leaves are definitely much larger than last year. I didn't have to do anything special with it for it to recover, just water him and wait. he did everything else on its own :>

Do you ever use a soil moisture meter? I have one I bought on Amazon with a dial gauge at the top and a metal probe at the bottom that you insert into the soil. What is your opinion of these?

Question about the Croton variety "Mammy": I had rescued one from a funeral arrangement, and its grown two nice crowns of leaves, but they refuse to turn colors. The veins color, and the leaves get a few tiny yellow spots, but all the other Crotons I see like this are more or less black and not green. (I have it sitting under a South Window now.) Is this a lighting issue? Is my Mammy still not receiving enough light to turn?
