Croton Variegated
2.000 KD
The croton plant (Codiaeum variegatum) has colourful variegated foliage and nearly limitless leaf forms with hundreds of croton plant varieties. Croton plants grow best outdoors in warm, humid climates. They like full to dappled light and plentiful water. Growing croton plants indoors can be a challenge to mimic their ideal conditions. Outdoor croton plants can reach around 8 feet tall, but as pot-grown houseplants they tend to be much smaller, making croton a good indoor plant in that regard. In general, Codiaeum variegatum grows relatively slowly, gaining less than a foot per growing season.
Pot Size: 12 Cm

Croton Plant Care
The trick to take care of a croton plant is to provide steady warmth. A well-grown croton plant keeps its leaves down to the soil level. Even croton plants outdoors drop leaves after a cold night. Croton plants also need sun to maintain their vibrant leaf colors.
When caring for a croton plant indoors, low humidity can make the plant particularly susceptible to spider mites. Mist your plants daily to help avoid an infestation. Crotons can be brought outdoors in warm weather, as long as they are properly acclimated to the light and temperature conditions.
