The Croton is a plant with flamboyant colors. The leaves have wavy and curly edges, hence the name 'Pie Crust'. The colors change from green, yellow, cream, and sometimes orange. The more light it is exposed to, the brighter its coloration will be. It is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, so avoid hot drafts.
