Care & tips for the Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star' - 30 cm
The Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star', better known as the Croton, is a colourful houseplant famous for its variegated leaves. To hold on to those colours it needs a stable, warm spot. Avoid draughts and big swings in temperature, because the plant reacts badly to both. Try not to move it around too often either, so it can settle into its place in peace.
How much water does the Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star' - 30 cm need?
The soil of the Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star' can stay slightly moist, but don't let the roots sit wet for long. Let the top layer of soil dry out a little before you water again. In the warmer months the plant will want a bit more water than it does in winter.
How much light does the Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star' - 30 cm need?
This houseplant loves a bright spot with plenty of daylight. The more light it gets, the more intense the colours in the leaves stay. Do avoid long spells of fierce direct sun, though, as that can damage the leaves. A place by a window with lots of bright indirect light is ideal.
Is the Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star' - 30 cm toxic?
The Codiaeum variegatum 'Sunny Star' is mildly toxic if swallowed. The sap can also cause mild skin irritation, so it's sensible to be careful around pets and small children.
