People love the dramatic yellow, orange, silver, red, white —or even black — multi-colored leaves of croton plants, but don’t know they can also be quite challenging to grow. When I asked about them at a local plant shop, they said that they don’t even carry them because they tend to drop their leaves during transport, so you may need to hunt around to find them. Once you do, you have to really know what you’re doing to keep this diva of a plant happy. But, if you think you’re up to the challenge, here’s a croton cheatsheet.
