Croton Iceton is a stunningly beautiful foliage plant with fantastic leaf colour and variegation. The mid-green leaves are glossy with pointed tips and each have a vivid splash of red, pink, yellow or orange. Highly ornamental, it could almost be considered a work of art. Codiaeum Iceton is a definite eye-catcher and looks stunning in taller planters.
Please note: These plants will drop leaves if they are unhappy. This might also occur post transit, whilst your plant settles into its new environment.

Horty Hints
Little and Often! If you notice rapid leaf drop, your plant is not happy with its watering. Try to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Do not use leaf shine as this will damage the foliage. Cut back to size if they become too tall.
If you’re still noticing leaf drop after changing up your watering schedule, your Croton might be feeling a little chilly! Consider relocating to a warmer, more humid spot like the bathroom or kitchen.
Light
Codiaeum need plenty of bright light. Direct sunlight for at least a few hours a day is recommended, however avoid the scorching midday sun. They can tolerate short periods of shade, but remember: the brighter the light, the finer the foliage!
Watering
Codiaeum need to be in damp soil at all times. They do not respond well to soil that is very wet or dry, and either will cause leaf drop. Watering your Iceton with lukewarm water is recommended.
Temperature
Your Croton also needs a degree of warmth. They are happy in temperatures from 18-29°C but can cope with as low as 15°C. Avoid draughts however.
Humidity
Increased humidity levels are a must. Stand your Croton on a wet pebble tray to improve humidity or mist frequently. Does best in steamier rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Feed
Apply a balanced fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season. Crotons like to be fed!
