Hi all, I bought the pictured plant recently, and don't seem to be having much luck with it. It's in a south facing room so plenty of light, I'm in London and it's almost winter so not the warmest, but it's away from the window enough to not be too cold. I'm watering maybe once a week and have been misting. It seems to be losing leaves a lot though. Any help would be appreciated! Many thanks, Thomas.
I 'think' it is a "Croton" ........ or on that family. I've never had much luck with them but go to the tropics and they are everywhere!
Ah, amazing thank you! It would appear from this article http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/croton/care-croton-plants.htm that the leaf dropping is normal as it's new to my house. Thanks again!
