CROTON (Codiceum). Prefer fibrous 
loam with sufficient sand added 
to keep it open ; they should be 
grown in a moist atmosphere 
with frequent syringings. When 
intended to be used for table or 
conservatory decoration, they 
should be hardened off, as any 
sudden change may cause the 
leaves to drop.
