About this plant

  • Description

    Codiaeum variegatum, commonly known as Croton, is a bold and colourful houseplant prized for its vibrant, multi-toned foliage. Its leathery leaves come in striking combinations of green, yellow, orange, red, and sometimes purple, instantly energising any interior. With its upright growth and strong personality, Croton works brilliantly as a statement plant in bright rooms. While it enjoys a little attention, the reward is intense colour and year-round visual impact, making it ideal for confident, design-forward homes.

  • Why we like it

    “

    We love Croton for its fearless use of colour. It adds instant energy and confidence to a room, making it perfect for homes that embrace bold design. When happy, it rewards you with intense, jewel-like foliage that feels more like living artwork than a typical houseplant.

  • “Arrived in perfect condition, beautifully packed. The pink is even softer and prettier in person — it's made my desk feel so much calmer.”

    Helen W.· Verified buyer

    Raj P.· Verified buyer

    Moira K.· Verified buyer
