Croton Houseplants

Croton, commonly known as Codiaeum variegatum, is a popular houseplant admired for its vividly coloured and variegated leaves that come in shades of red, yellow, green, orange, and even black. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight, making it suitable for bright indoor spaces. Water your Croton when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Its bold and colourful foliage makes Croton a stunning focal point in any room.

In addition to its striking appearance, Croton is relatively easy to care for, making it ideal for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C and benefits from high humidity, so regular misting or a nearby humidifier can be helpful. Fertilise monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to promote vibrant leaf colours and healthy growth. With proper care, Croton can enhance your indoor space with its lively and dynamic foliage, adding a touch of tropical flair and natural beauty to your home or office.
