# I recently moved into my college dorm, and suddenly my croton is…

_Posted by Krazyhorse on 2024-08-28_

I recently moved into my college dorm, and suddenly my croton is losing leaves, and there seem to be some dark patches growing on some of the leaves? Does anyone know if this some type of fungus or anything I should be concerned about? This plant has never lost leaves or had any of these growths in the time that I’ve had it until now.

croton haaates change — light, temperature, you name it. the best you can do is wait it out

Mine also lost tons of leaves when I moved but giving them lots of sun and warmth will hopefully help!!
