Foliage

Features large, leathery, oak-leaf or oval-shaped leaves with a glossy finish. The foliage is spectacularly variegated with a mix of deep green, creamy yellow, and bright white. The amount of white increases dramatically in higher light.

Flowering Period & Fruit

Sun Tolerance

Requires very bright light, including several hours of direct sun, to achieve its brilliant white variegation. In lower light, the leaves will be predominantly green. A south or west-facing window is ideal.

Maintenance

Moderate to High. Crotons are known for dropping leaves when stressed by moving, drafts, or inconsistent watering. They demand high humidity and a stable environment. Water when the top inch of soil is dry.

Root System

A fibrous root system that requires a rich, well-draining potting mix and is sensitive to both overwatering and severe underwatering.
