Croton Losing Color? It Needs Full Sun—Window Direction, Coverings, and Micronutrients Matter

First Answer: Not Enough Light

Crotons are sun worshippers. Color fades without full sun all day. Move to a sunny window, keep coverings open dawn to dusk.

Follow-Up: Already in a Sunroom?

Expert asks for details to diagnose further:

• Which direction does the 10-ft window face?
• Are trees shading it?
• Are drapes/blinds partly closed?
• What fertilizer is used?

A micronutrient deficiency combined with reduced light (even through glass) could be the issue. Private email discussion offered.
