Since Crotons like it hot, a propagation mat (like a heating pad for plants) would help you get them thru the winter in better shape. Those mats only use 100-150 watts, not much more than a light bulb.

I use Triacide for pests, but, a more organic approach would be to add coffee grounds to the top of the pot and water them in. I know folks on this site that swear by that method. Seems caffeine kills bugs. Works very well on scale on Sago Palms.

In Miami they grow lots of different kinds>
