Description
Crotons with their colorful, glossy foliage and variation of leaf types are one of the most popular plants in Florida but because of the Crotons susceptibility to cold injury, is restricted to the southern and warmer parts of central Florida. Cold injury normally shows as leaf dropping soon after periods of cold weather. This colorful plant may be pruned heavily during spring or other mild periods of the year. Crotons may attain a height of 8-10 feet, and tend to produce the heaviest foliage at the top of the plant. It is wise to cut back rather heavily to force new foliage lower down on the stem and it is best to prune about one-third of the branches, then wait until new growth has started before pruning again. This keeps the Croton plant more uniform in shape and more attractive during the pruning process. Pinching out the tips of Crotons will encourage multi-branching and therefore, a more attractive, fuller specimen.
