The croton is an easy to grow houseplant known for its variegated foliage covered in green, scarlet, orange, and yellow splotches. In the wild, the croton grows as a shrub and can grow as tall as 10 feet tall.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All parts of this plant are poisonous, especially the seeds, so it is not recommended in homes with pets or children. Also, when damaged, the croton produces a milky sap that may be irritating to the skin.
