Croton feels comfortable at +22 C in summer and +17 C in winter. Direct sunlight should fall on the flower for a short time - only in the morning and evening. The rest of the daylight hours, the lighting should be diffused.
In summer, the best place for a pot is a window sill located to the west, east or north. And in winter, a southern window will do.
Fertilizer.
Fertilizer is applied monthly, from April to November, in winter you can not apply fertilizer at all. Ready-made complex mineral mixtures are suitable for feeding the flower. The soil must be well moistened before applying fertilizer.
An important point that must be taken into account when growing a perennial is the removal of flower stalks as soon as they appear, if you do not plan to propagate by seeds.
The flowers are not beautiful and do not carry any decorative load, but if flowering is abundant, the croton bush may die, since the formation of inflorescences takes a lot of energy from the plant.
