    The Croton Banana has long, narrow leaves with heavy gold-yellow coloring throughout. As a member of the Euphorbia family, this plant loves bright sunlight and can grow over 6 feet tall in its natural habitat. Grown indoors, however, the Croton Banana will usually max out at 3 to 4 feet. Croton Banana is cheery, tropical, and will add some personality to any space.

    Care Guide

    water-plant-guide-iconwater-plant-guide-iconwater-plant-guide-icon
    Water

    About once a week. Allow soil to mostly dry out. Water less often in winter.

    Light / Temperature

    Requires bright, indirect sunlight to maintain bright colors. A few hours of direct light is okay—but too much will sunburn the leaves.

    pruning-plant-guide-icon
    Pruning

    Prune branches and leaves just above a node or leaf set, but do not remove more than a third of the stem at a time. To propagate, take a 4-inch stem cutting with at least 3 leaves, and dip stem in rooting hormone before planting in soil.

    plantcare-icon-care-easy
    Level of Care

    Easy! Just make sure it has enough sunlight and warm temperatures.

    soil-plant-guide-icon
    Soil

    Use a well-draining, All-Purpose potting soil.

    pets-no-plant-guide-icon
    Pet Friendly

    Sorry! Will cause indigestion if any part of the plant is consumed and the sap can cause skin irritation.

    Air Purifying

    Crotons remove toxins that can build up in indoor spaces. A general rule of thumb is 1 medium houseplant per 100 square feet of space effectively cleans the air we breathe.

    fertilizer-plant-guide-icon
    Fertilizer

    Feed with slow-release pellets or a liquid, indoor plant fertilizer about 1-2 times a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter.

    high-temp-plant-guide-icon
    Temperature

    Requires warm conditions above 60°F. Keep away from drafty windows and air conditioners.
