Croton

Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) is a vibrant, tropical evergreen shrub known for its striking, multicolored foliage. Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, Crotons display leaves in shades of green, yellow, red, orange, and purple, often with bold veins and patterns. They thrive in warm, humid conditions and require bright, indirect light to maintain their vivid colors. Crotons prefer well-draining soil and regular watering but are sensitive to sudden environmental changes. While they make excellent ornamental plants indoors and outdoors in warm climates, their sap can be toxic if ingested, so they should be kept away from pets and children.
