Croton Gold Dust 4”

The Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) is a bold, tropical houseplant celebrated for its dramatic foliage in a striking mix of red, orange, yellow, and green. Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, it brings a vibrant, architectural element to any indoor space. With the right light, its colors intensify, making it not just a decorative piece but a dynamic one—responding beautifully to its environment and adding life to your home or office.

What sets the Croton apart is its ability to adapt and flourish with consistent care. While it can be sensitive to changes in light or temperature—sometimes dropping a few leaves in response—it quickly settles and thrives when left undisturbed. A lesser-known trait: the more sunlight it receives (within reason), the more vivid its foliage becomes. It’s a statement plant that rewards attention with color and structure, and although its sap is mildly toxic, it’s easy to manage with proper placement away from pets or small children.

For optimal care, place the Croton in a bright spot with plenty of indirect or filtered sunlight—south or west-facing windows are ideal. It prefers a warm, humid environment with regular watering to keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. To maintain its balanced shape, rotate the plant every few weeks. With its vibrant presence and tropical flair, the Croton is a perfect choice for anyone looking to add bold, natural color to their interior space.
