Codiaeum variegatum

The Gold Dust Croton’s dark green leaves appear, quite literally, to be speckled with gold dust. When the light hits, these speckles brighten up in a display that resembles the night sky (if it were green). If you have Western or Southern exposure and have been looking to add a splash of color, this is the one for you.

Bright, indirect light. Can tolerate short periods of direct light.

SM: ~10″ tall and a pot size of 4″.

Pro-tip: Leaves turning green and lacking gold dust? Try placing it closer to the light source.
