petra croton not doing well


Question
Hi,

I recently bought 3 croton to put in front for landscaping.  They were planted right in front of my house in full sun.  I have been watering daily, because I live in Florida and it's been very hot.  I noticed after a couple of days, they are drooping and do not look as good as they did when I bought them.  Do you think they are getting too much sun, I checked the soil and it still felt moist.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Chris, sounds like too much water, they are stressing from their roots getting soaked, Crotons don't need much attention, they are very resilient by themselves as long as they get a weekly watering; back off the water and they should perk up for you, if not get back to me and we will take it from there, but I think you are watering them way too much:) Nick
