Croton or miraculous shrub is unfortunately poisonous
Croton, occasionally found under Croton, belongs to the milkweed family. The houseplant is therefore poisonous and does not belong in households with children and pets. Care should also be taken when nursing.
Croton is a poisonous houseplant
The miracle shrub is poisonous in all plant parts. Neither leaves nor flowers or shoots should therefore reach into the hands or even mouths of children and pets. If you do not want to go without Kroton, set it up unreachable.
Wear gloves while grooming
As a spurge plant leaves and shoots contain the whitish milk juice. It can cause irritation to sensitive people and leaves stains on clothing.
Always wear gloves if you need to cut or repot the croton.
Do not leave any parts of plants and always pick up fallen leaves.
Tips
Croton is very easy to maintain in hydroponics. To rehabble an older plant, you must rinse the substrate completely. Then the miracle shrub is placed in appropriate containers.
