Baby Codiaeum 'Red Banana'
Part of the Croton family of colourful plants, this baby Codiaeum Red Banana is a charming addition to any home or office space. It features long leaves mottled with vivid hues, ensuring it catches the eye.
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 is often referred to as ‘Joseph’s Coat’ because of the array of rich, vibrant colours it comes in. This variety features striking green leaves with flecks of red, orange and gold, producing a bold and fascinating look.
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.
