Don't Repot That Croton: Fix Light and Water Instead

Repotting Worsens Problems

Unnecessary repotting is the #1 killer. Croton needs:

Direct sun most of day.
Precise watering: Water when top ½" dry. No drought, no soggy.
Spider mite check: Dust-like specks on leaves.

Ignore soil mix questions—don't repot. Fix culture first.
