Croton leaves look beautiful when seen close

I don't have crotons but I've wanted to get some to put in. I've seen them arranged in such beautiful patterns with reds and orange ones. I've seen the green as well but not as much in this area. Most seem to like the red, orange or yellow ones. Many subdivisions here in Florida have them arranged outside to decorate the area. They do come up with some excellent arrangments. Once it comes time for planting again I'm going to look into some.

had never seen them so i can't explain about them

Our garden is beautifully landscaped, 10 years ago. Now it looks like a jungle. A miniature one. We do not have grass but this yellow flowers that bloom only in the mornings. No idea what they're called. We have a willow tree and wrapped around it are ferns and we have a lot of orchids. I don't know what a croton plant is. Don't think we get it here :/

i have never seen a croton leaf yet. in fact i an hearing about it for the first time in my leaf.

My husband loves crotons but it's hard to grow them where we are. We have a few fruit trees, small bushes and some flowers in our garden. But we haven't been spending a lot of time on it so it's not doing so well. Plus, we get a lot of pests and it has been hard to keep them away even with pesticides and all.

Yeah, I do agree with you

those are really beautiful, you have a horticulturist in the making huh?

They have good look by nature itself. So when we get closer surely they will attract as to watch their beauty.

i love crotons!..you're right, they are all so beautiful, and no two are exactly ever alike! i have many gardens...one is full of all different kinds of roses, one has a ton of iris, one has a cascading wall of periwinkle, one garden is for my vegetables in the summer, and the other has bleeding hearts, and this year i hope to add some hostas to it..then there's my inside jungle...lol...i love surrounding myself with as many plants as possible!..they are all so beautiful and unique and they all give me great joy!

This time or year, our gardens are nothing, here in Kansas. I will admit to some nice shrubs, some of which have bright berries for the birds. Some of them keep their leaves all season long. Where I live, croton is a houseplant, and it is one I often let die. I hate to admit that. They are very beautiful, and I have a pot of them right now. If I can keep it til spring, it will be a good summer outdoor plant.

well i think they are beautiful too

i haven't got a home or garden yet..but i would love to tell you about my dreasm gsrden i would like one day....i would like a beautiful chinese garden with everything haphazard and chaotic in it in an orderly kind of way..with all the feng shui i can handle..and a little pagoda with a pond in it..and a tea house at the bottom to serve proper gong fu cha..

We have a huge backyard but still looking for ideas how to beautify it. Winter ruins everything although some plants can grow inside the house, but sometimes cold temperature alone is enough to kill them. Worse, we have a young cat that can't resist jumping on the plant pots. We took the Xmas tree off quite early because she couldn't get off it many times. Maybe one day we can find a special room to keep the plants inside in winter.

I have never heard of it at all! I also have a hard time growing anything Because I live in Flagstaff AZ and its very cold in the winter which is about 7 months of the year! and then the summers are mild ut the soil is sucky!

Thanks for the information, I was not knowing this, will see it .

i have a garden but full of living ones... thanx for the idea i love it now i will do the same...
