My croton needs help, please?

Question

is all limp. I think it's dying but I don't know what to do to bring it back to life. I tried sunlight and water. Nothing. What else should I be doing?

Answer 1

Have you removed it from pot and permanently planted it yet?

Also what climate (state) are you in?

Edit: If it has not been planted, then it needs to be, preferably in full sunlight.

Also, It's a tropical plant so it cannot sustain temperatures below 38*.

Don't over water them, damp soil is all that is necessary. Give it plenty of sunshine, and don't water it for several days. Newly planted it will need watering at the most twice a week.

They are colorful and very strong plants that once growing on their own require minimal care.

Good Luck,  ;-)

Answer 2

It's probably damping off from too much water.  They don't like "wet feet".  It's best to give them well-drained soil.  These grow very well in the sandy soil of South Florida.

Answer 3

your croton? like the ones you eat? weird.
