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.
