The croton (Codiaeum variegatum) is a plant belonging to the family of Euphorbiaceae. It is a shrub native to the Pacific islands (Ceylon), as well as southern India and Malaysia. It is cultivated in the West as an ornamental, thanks to the beauty of its variegated foliage. In our latitudes it is grown indoors, as it is rather sensitive to low temperatures. However, it requires particular cultural care to live for a long time, which is why it is considered one of the most difficult indoor plants.
In this article we see the botanical characteristics of the croton plant and the organic cultivation techniques to grow healthy, lush and long-lasting specimens.
Botanical sheet of the Codiaeum variegatum
The croton is a shrubby plant, with numerous erect stems that in the areas of origin can reach a few meters in height.
In apartment cultivation it usually does not exceed one meter, while cultivated in greenhouses it can even reach 3 m.
The leaves are alternated on the stems, simple and glabrous, of a particularly leathery consistency, with evident ribs.
