Croton - Codiaeum variegatum 'Gold Sun'

The croton (Codiaeum variegatum) is a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, known for its colorful leaves. The 'Gold Sun' variety has green, yellow, and orange leaves.

To care for the 'Gold Sun' croton, follow these steps:

Light: The croton prefers a spot with bright light, but protected from direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. Ideally, place it where light is filtered through thin curtains or in a partially shaded area.

Temperature: The croton prefers warm and humid temperatures, between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Avoid exposure to drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Watering: The croton needs regular watering, but do not let the soil dry out completely between waterings. During winter, when it is less active, water less often and reduce the amount of water.

Soil: The croton prefers well-drained soil rich in nutrients, such as humus, peat, perlite, and sand. It is recommended that the substrate has a pH between 5.5 and 6.5, so an acidic and well-drained soil is ideal.

Fertilizers: The croton needs regular feeding, preferably during the active growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced liquid fertilizer containing trace elements, and follow the recommended dose.

With proper care, the 'Gold Sun' croton can grow healthy and beautiful in your home.

The leaf shade varies depending on environmental conditions.
