Joseph's Coat | Croton aucubaefolia | 13cm Pot
Joseph's Coat | Croton aucubaefolia | 13cm Pot | By Plant Theory
Native to Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia, Croton plants are admired by gardeners for their beautiful, multi-coloured foliage. Croton plants can vary greatly in their shape and colour, so are a wonderful means of adding your own unique touch to a room. As such, it is understandable why they have earned the name 'Joseph's Coat'! (based on the techni coloured Dreamcoat). Although Crotons have a reputation for being relatively fussy plants, setting them up correctly from the start can allow them to mature into a plant that's difficult to go wrong with. They'll be happiest in bright direct light, as this helps mimic their native Oceanic habitat.

Advice on hot and droopy plants
If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don’t worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it’s hot that water evaporates.
Just give them an off-schedule watering and they’ll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don’t like extremes.
