Q.Gold dust croton
I received a gold dust croton as a gift at work in 2002. Now it’s gotten so tall it’s encroaching on my bosses office. It’s also starting to look unhealthy, I know it needs a bigger pot, but I’m thinking of taking it home an putting it outside. I live is south Texas and the place I was going to put it gets full afternoon sun. I would take it in the house when it gets cold which is probably nov-feb. do you think it would live outside? Or is it even a gold dust croton?
A Croton can grow outdoors in zones 9-11. You may be in zone 9, check your growing zone to be sure.
