New plant health check (bush on fire croton, possibly?) The pet store near my house has started selling plants so you know I had to āadoptā one. Most of the plants there are in VERY poor condition and most likely meant for terrariums, but this guy didnāt seem so bad and I fell in love with the colours. I have no experience with this type of plant so Iād like somebody else to give this guy a proper health check:) My main concern is the stems appear to be extending past the leaves, Is this normal or is this caused by something? Iāve also repotted from a 4āplastic to a 6āceramic pot, and now have it sitting in my south window. Does it sound like heāll be happy here? Overall, how does it look now and how do I help it thrive?:) #Croton #BushOnFireCroton
