Calico's Pick of the Week

Crotons

The colorful croton is an attractive indoor houseplant. The more light these plants receive, the more colorful they are. During the warm summer months, using the croton as an accent plant in your landscape, whether in the ground or potted on your deck or patio, adds color and an exotic look.
To keep these beauties happy and healthy, give them a monthly shower and keep the soil evenly moist. Use an all purpose fertilizer during the spring and summer growing period.
