This croton is one of my favorites in my collection. Please, if you have any advice on how to care for them, I’d love to hear it. I’m a little worried about the wintertime in particular, do I just bring it inside?

Crotons are at their best in heat and full sun. Cool weather will cause leaves to drop. Cold weather can kill them. It needs bright light, higher humidity and a location away from drafts, entry doors where cold air can’t get to it when you take it indoors.

So in that case, would a grow light and humidifier combination suffice if I bring it inside for the winter time?

Yes. They will help.
