I rescued this droopy, rootbound croton the day before I went on holiday, hastily repotted it, watered it, and left it for a week. Look how happy it is now!

What are your croton secrets? How should I give a croton the best care? I recently got a beautiful croton plant but I’ve hear that they’re difficult to care for.

So far, mine has been fine, but I’ve only had it a week 😊
