Codiaeum Iceton "Croton Iceton"

The Codiaeum Iceton has bold, leathery leaves with colorful patterns, often in combinations of green, yellow, cream, and orange. The shape of the leaves varies, but they typically appear elongated and glossy. This vibrant plant is loved for adding a pop of color to indoor spaces.

Crotons are relatively slow growers, but with proper care, they can reach a height of around 3-4 feet indoors. Their unique foliage color intensifies with exposure to bright light.

Plant Care Guide:

• Light: Codiaeum Iceton thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. More light will encourage vibrant coloration in the leaves. However, avoid direct, harsh sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves. In lower light conditions, the plant may lose some of its color intensity.

• Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Codiaeum Iceton likes consistent moisture but does not tolerate soggy soil, so ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Overwatering may lead to root rot, while underwatering could cause leaf drop.

• Humidity: This plant enjoys high humidity levels, making it ideal for environments like bathrooms or kitchens. In drier areas, you can mist the plant regularly or place a humidity tray nearby to boost moisture levels. Low humidity can cause the leaves to brown or curl at the edges.

• Soil: Use well-draining potting soil with a mix of peat, perlite, or vermiculite to ensure good aeration. A standard houseplant potting mix will work well, as long as it allows for moisture retention without being overly saturated.

• Fertilizer: Feed Codiaeum Iceton with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows. Over-fertilizing can lead to salt build-up in the soil, so it’s important not to overfeed.

• Pruning: Regularly prune any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking healthy and tidy. Pruning also encourages fuller, more compact growth. You can pinch off new growth at the tips to promote bushier growth, especially if the plant becomes leggy.

• Pests: Codiaeum Iceton can sometimes attract pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Check the undersides of the leaves regularly, and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
