Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) is a bold, colorful houseplant with vibrant leaves in shades of red, yellow, orange, and green. It thrives in bright, indirect light—the more light it receives, the more vivid its colors become. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, typically once a week, and keep humidity high to prevent leaf drop. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. Indoors, Crotons can grow up to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
