However, it can be a bit more demanding in terms of care than some other houseplants. Here are some tips for Croton care:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crotons prefer bright, indirect light. They need plenty of light to maintain their color and vigor. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can burn the leaves. An east or west-facing window is generally ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maintain room temperature in the range of 18°C to 24°C (65°F to 75°F).
