Croton (Codiaeum variegatum)

Liven up your décor with the radiant Croton (Codiaeum variegatum). Celebrated for its flamboyant foliage—ranging from fiery reds and oranges to sunny yellows and deep greens—this tropical beauty instantly commands attention in any setting. Each leaf’s unique pattern and hue create a living piece of art that evolves over time.

Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, the Croton thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its intense coloration.
