CROTON PLANT
The croton plant (Codiaeum variegatum) has colorful variegated foliage and nearly limitless leaf forms with hundreds of croton plant varieties. Croton plants grow best outdoors in warm, humid climates. They like full to dappled light and plentiful water. Growing croton plants indoors can be a challenge to mimic their ideal conditions. Outdoor croton plants can reach around 8 feet tall, but as pot-grown houseplants they tend to be much smaller, making Croton a good indoor plant in that regard. In general, Codiaeum variegatum grows relatively slowly, gaining less than a foot per growing season.
Codiaeum Variegatum (Croton) has beautiful, colorful foliage with vibrant combinations of green, yellow, orange, and red or burgundy. Croton is commonly used throughout landscape design in Dubai and villa landscaping as well as modern garden landscape design, so they look bright, abundant, and interesting due to the immediate color, texture, and visual impact created by the highly colorful foliage of crotons. Crotons provide color and drama for garden border areas, entranceways, and patios, as well as in decorative planting designs. Crotons can withstand the hot season in the UAE and have been a very popular choice for both residential landscaping and commercial landscape development to create year-round landscape beauty.
