I recently started using crotons for fall decorations. How do I take care of them?
Colorful crotons (Codiaeum variegatum) are tropical plants that do not withstand sub-freezing temperatures and are best treated as an annual or taken into the house for winter. Outdoors, they should be given bright light but not fully exposed to hot noonday sun as this can fade the rich colors in their leaves. They can sometimes be successfully overwintered in the ground if planted in an extremely sheltered spot but expect them to look rough between the first and last frost.
