Description
Bright, bold, and totally unapologetic—Codiaeum ‘Pictum’ (Croton) is here to bring the drama with painted foliage in firey shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. A total sunshine-lover with tropical flair.
Plant Care
Light: Needs bright, direct or strong indirect light to maintain its bold colours. Too little light = dull, green leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Cut back slightly in winter.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Hates cold—never let it drop below 15°C. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Potting: Our Sandy Loam mix is ideal—well-draining with enough structure to support this woody shrub.
Hot tips: Rotate regularly for even growth. Known to drop leaves when stressed (moving, drying out, low light)—give it time and good care, and it’ll bounce back.
Pet Friendly: No
