Bright yellow, bright orange, fire-engine red and spring green: you will never tire of the croton, with such a spectacular rainbow of colors. It is an extravagant centerpiece that gives life more color. For daring people!

The croton, officially called Codiaeum, grows in Indonesia, Polynesia and Malaysia in the wild. There, the plant can grow to several meters in height. What an impressive sight that must be!

Inspiration and Ideas

Sunny Living

Place Sunshiners® plants in a bright spot in your home, such as the windowsill of your bathroom or bedroom. These summer plants feel particularly at home in the conservatory.

Happy working

The work place can always use some color. But be careful not to let yourself get too distracted by the lovely appearance of the croton!

Care

Place the croton in a bright spot (the more light, the more colourful the leaves!), but not in direct sunlight;
Water the plant regularly, but not too much (no water should remain under the pot);
Give the plant some plant food every two weeks;
In the summer, place the plant in a sheltered spot on the patio.

Habitat

A light location, away from bright sunlight.
