Hello members. I have opened the Garden Center but there isn't much to see yet. It just makes it easier to work on it with it open. Most links aren't working yet or there may be no content. But feel free to see what little there is to see.

Honorable Mention Croton
	Croton There are 750 varieties and since I am far from an expert in identifying plants, I have no idea which variety the featured Croton is, all I know is it is one of the prettiest house plants one can have and in warmer climates can provide a very showy display in your tropical landscape. This plant loves lots of water. I have never seen a plant drink so much! If you tend kill your plants by drowning, this may be the plant for you! LOL Keep it in a sun-shiny location to keep the colors vibrant. They prefer cooler temperatures but this particular plant does well, as you can see, in 68-70 degree indoor temperatures but probably also why it needs more water. The soil medium should have aeration but do not make excessive drainage holes or you'll be watering it every day as it tends to dry out quickly as I mentioned. This particular plant has never been fertilized and only re-potted once. I'm amazed it does so well but I have read that if you fertilized you need to use half the strength. Crotons are in the Euphorbiaceae family and the most common species is Codiaeum variegatum.
