About Croton
Crotons require bright, indirect light to maintain their vibrant colors, consistent watering when the top inch of soil dries, high humidity (40-60%), and warm temperatures between 15-29°C. They are sensitive to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can cause leaf drop.

Rosemary thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and prefers to dry out between waterings.
