Size: This plant can reach heights of between 1 and 3 metres, depending on the growing conditions.
Growth: Croton grows quickly, especially when it is suited to its environment, and can become quite a large plant.
Light: Croton thrives in bright, indirect light. The more light it receives, the more vibrant its leaves will be. However, it can adapt to lower light conditions, although this can lead to less intense colours.
