Description
Codiaeum variegatum ‘Excelente’
‘Excelente’ adds vibrant color with its striking oak-shaped leaves in reds, oranges, greens and yellows. This Gerten grown houseplant is perfect for bright, indirect light. An east or south-facing window works well. Just keep out of direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Croton don’t like to be moved. Find their spot and let them be.
