| I'm pretty much sure it is, but I'd like confirmation. I heard that to get a Croton plant to bloom is very rare. Is this true?
I don't do much with it at all. It faces a south patio, several feet from the sliding glass door. I do give it plenty to drink every 1-2 days. The soil is constantly dry if I don't. VERY thirsty plant! =) |

| My crotons flower quite easily, but have never set seed. The flowers are pretty inconspicuous and are fairly easily missed if you don't pay attention to the plants. I think it's more a matter of being easily overlooked rather than being so rare. |

| Summer, your Croton is definately blooming. I too heard bloom Crotons are rare, especially grown in containers, and cold locations. So, congrats on the blooms. In some cases, less attention to a plant is preferred. Hello Tropic...Toni |
