I like having something fresh around the house and frequently have flower arrangemtns. But when I have less time I just cut off a croton and place it in the vase - something is better than nothing. Crotons are normally ignored not by me. I give them a lot of importance.

What kind of arrangements do you make. Some have plastic flowers. I do not like them.

@allknowing I don't make arrangements in my rented place. Sad.

I really like to have some plants in the house. It may not be the most beautiful plants in the world. As long as it cleans the air.

Talking about cleaning the air I came to know that Sanseviera (Mother in law's tongue) does that.

i love bringin' the outdoors in myself 'n find that greenery'f all sorts most beautiful. those crotons don't get 'nough credit, do they? the various colors they come'n, their leathery texture add so much beauty.

No one cares for the crotons. They come in vibrant colours and need little or no maintenence.

In the 'floral arrangement' section at our agricultural shows, there is always a section for 'arrangement made without flowers'. People come up with some great ideas.

If you see in @JaBo 's box I have added one more. Flower arrangements is one of my hobbies. I had an exhibition too.

Anything green is cheerful. I have a plant with coloured leaves, but don't know the name of it.

Most plants that have no flowers but just coloured leaves are called crotons. How about uploading a picture here?

Crotons give a lot of color to a room in the house with their vibrant color. I like them also.
