Croton Rose 4”

The Croton ‘Rose’ is a colorful, compact variety of Codiaeum variegatum, native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Known for its rosy-pink, red, and green variegation, this Croton adds a bold pop of color to indoor and outdoor plant displays. Its leathery leaves often twist slightly, catching light and showing off layers of warm tones that deepen as the plant matures.Croton ‘Rose’ is considered a rare and highly sought-after Croton variety, especially among collectors.

This tropical shrub thrives in warm, humid conditions and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Consistent watering and humidity help maintain its vibrant coloration, but it’s important not to let the roots sit in water. Occasional misting or a nearby humidifier will keep the foliage lush, while pruning can encourage a fuller, bushier shape.

Direction of light: The Croton ‘Rose’ needs bright, direct to bright indirect light to maintain its intense color patterns. Too little light can cause the leaves to fade to plain green, while a few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun will bring out its best hues. A south- or west-facing window is ideal indoors, or a lightly shaded outdoor spot with protection from harsh midday rays.
