Croton capitatus aka Capitate Croton

With its straightforward care requirements, Capitate Croton is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Capitate Croton should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Capitate Croton loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Capitate Croton prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Capitate Croton is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Once the Capitate Croton has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Capitate Croton as it grows vertically.
