@Bubbles, I have 1 croton. It has been trying to love me back for two years but doing a rather poor job at it. I even propgated one of it's broken branches. It is growing in the turtle habitat. But you know I am sun-challenged here and that, perhaps is what it really wants? I think this spring I will give it a lovely new pot where it will have to start perking up to justify living there. I love the croton varieties. If I am more successful with this one, I will try others.
