The Croton (scientifically known as Codiaeum variegatum) is a tropical plant celebrated for its vibrant, multi-colored foliage, which can include shades of green, yellow, orange, red, and even purple or bronze. As a popular houseplant and ornamental shrub, it adds a splash of exotic beauty and color to indoor and outdoor spaces. Crotons require bright, indirect light, well-drained soil, and consistent moisture to maintain their stunning appearance.
