Croton is a genus of tropical flowering plants in the Euphorbiaceae family, encompassing numerous species and cultivars. The genus includes both ornamental foliage plants (such as those formerly classified in Codiaeum) and other botanical forms, prized for their vibrant, variegated leaves and decorative appeal in indoor and warm-climate settings.
Water: Medium · Height: 60 cm · Soil: Well-draining soil rich in organic matter; slightly acidic to neutral pH preferred.
croton is usually grown from cuttings rather than seed. Take a healthy stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and root it in moist, free-draining compost.
