Baby Codiaeum aucubaefolia
Also known as the Gold Dust Croton, this gorgeous little plant features a golden yellow mottled pattern on its large glossy green leaves. The golden flecks create a unique look that brings colour and charm to any small space.
Croton plants are generally easy to care for. They thrive in a warm, bright spot and can tolerate some direct sunlight (but avoid too much as it can scorch the leaves). The brighter the spot you choose for your new plant, the more vibrant the leaf colour will be. Croton prefers lightly moist soil but doesn’t enjoy being waterlogged so let the soil drain well and let the top 2cm dry out before watering again.
Codiaeum Aucubaefolia is often referred to as ‘Joseph’s Coat’ because of the array of rich, vibrant colours it comes in. This variety is ideal for adding a bright touch to any room and will be admired by anyone who sees it.
Growing your Croton from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
