A genuinely tropical plant that we really love, Codiaeum variegatum 'Gold Sun' gives the rainforest feel in any home with a wild explosion of colour to rival a rainbow. Wanted to be taken to the tropics on a cold and wet Sunday afternoon, this is the plant for you! A bold, elegant, tall houseplant native to Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and the western Pacific Ocean islands grows in open forests and scrub.
Codiaeum Gold Sun shouts ‘tropical’ to anyone looking at it with its explosion of colourful foliage reaching up towards the light with its leaves of red, pink, orange, yellow, gold and green. With Croton, a simple rule to remember is: the brighter the light, the finer the foliage!
Codiaeum Gold Sun would make a fabulous houseplant gift for that extra special person who likes a flavour of the tropics. Imagine the pleasure when that plant gift delivery arrives at the door!
Croton Codiaeum variegatum 'Gold Sun' is not hard to manage and will bring so much pleasure!

Where should I put it?
Codiaeums like high or direct sunlight, a humid, sunny spot.
How much should I water?
Soil should be kept moist but not soggy. The best advice is to water when you feel the top couple of inches of soil are dry. Our secret tip is to put Codiaeum Petra on a bed of pebbles with water; it works wonders for this plant.
Is this plant suitable if you have pets?
Codiaeum Gold Sun is toxic to cats and dogs.
Should I feed this houseplant?
You can give this plant a feed in spring and summer - why not try our vegan, organic plant food?
What size is it?
W12cm x H20cm
Looks great in our 14cm vibes pot
