Croton Plant/Codiaeum variegatum

The Croton (scientifically known as Codiaeum variegatum) is a tropical evergreen shrub famous for its bold, multi coloured leaves splashed with red, orange, yellow, and green.

It Grows up to 3 to 10 feet tall (90–300 cm) in ideal outdoor conditions, though smaller indoors.

The milky sap causes skin irritation (dermatitis), and ingestion leads to stomach upset or vomiting in humans and pets.

Croton Needs bright, indirect light or several hours of direct sun daily; low light causes the leaves to fade to green and drop.

Croton Water thoroughly when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry; do not let it sit in soggy soil.

Croton Thrives in warm, humid conditions (ideal temperature range between 18°C and 27°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature shifts.

Croton Requires rich, well-draining potting soil mixed with perlite or peat.
