    The Croton Paintbrush (Codiaeum variegatum 'Paintbrush') is a stunning variety of the Croton plant, known for its vibrant, multicolored foliage. The leaves of this cultivar are elongated, with splashes of red, orange, yellow, and green, resembling a paintbrush stroke pattern. It’s a striking plant that adds a pop of color to any space, making it a popular choice for both home and office decor.

     

    Care Instructions

     

    Light: Crotons thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves. Lack of light can cause the colors to dull.

     

    Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering, as Crotons are sensitive to root rot.

     

    Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60-80%). If the air is dry, mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a humidity tray to help maintain moisture.

     

    Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F), as it is sensitive to cold.

     

    Soil: A well-draining, lightweight potting mix is best. A mix of peat, perlite, and regular potting soil works well to keep the roots healthy.

     

    Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

     

     

    Additional Notes

     

    Growth Habit: This plant grows as a shrub and can reach about 3–4 feet in height when grown indoors. The vibrant, colorful leaves are its main attraction.

     

    Leaf Care: Crotons need bright light to maintain their vivid leaf color. If the leaves start to lose their intensity, try moving the plant to a brighter spot.

     

    Pruning: You can prune your Croton to maintain its shape and control its size. Regular pruning helps to encourage new growth and maintain its bushy appearance.

     

    Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of animals and young children.
