Croton Banana - 3 Live Plants in 4 Inch Pots - Codiaeum Variegatum 'Banana' - Beautiful Clean Air Indoor Houseplant

The Banana Croton is native to the Pacific Islands, Malaysia, and Northern Australia. This plant can be grown outdoors in warm climates, or indoors year-round. Crotons have such a wide variety of leaf shapes and colors – all on the same plant. That’s what makes them so special. The Banana Croton has bright yellow and green odd shaped leaves near the base and then tall, slender all green leaves at the top. The yellow and green leaves are tall and narrow, short and wide, and some leaves even have ‘thumbs’. Crotons are evergreen shrubs that are hardy only to USDA plant hardiness zones 11 and 12, where they are often grown outdoors as ornamental shrubs. Outdoor plants can reach 10 feet in height, but pot-grown specimens tend to be much smaller, making them suitable for permanent houseplants or indoor/outdoor container plants. Crotons need bright, indirect light. They do not like unfiltered, direct sunlight, but thrive in dappled sunlight. Vibrant colors depend on bright light. You will need to water your croton plants rather frequently during the growing season. They require the soil to be constantly moist, so when the top begins to feel dry, the plant must be watered again.
