Codiaeum Gold Sun

Codiaeum, or Crotons, are a stunning, brightly coloured plant with thick, leathery leaves that have a shiny surface and that grow in a wide variety of colors.

Crotons love bright light and in fact require it to produce those stunning multicolored leaves, particularly thriving under artificial lights. They also require good levels of humidity, although good drainage Is also important to ensure the roots do not stay constantly wet.

Crotons can be susceptible to over-watering. If you find that your croton’s leaves are wilting, that may be a sign of too much water. If the lower leaves are drying out or falling off, that’s usually a sign of under-watering.
