A classic indoor plant. We have all, from near or far, been fascinated by the coloring of croton leaves. Indeed, its large, elongated, warm-colored leaves attract the eye. The more light it is exposed to, the brighter its coloring will be. The 'Mammy' variety has thin leaves. Its coloring varies between green, red, orange and yellow. It is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, avoid drafts of hot air.
