The 'Dreadlocks' Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) is a slow-growing, ornamental tropical shrub known for its unique, narrow, corkscrew-twisted foliage. Its leaves display a vibrant, variegated mix of red, yellow, orange, and green, creating a cascading, dramatic look. Ideal for indoor or outdoor containers in warm, humid climates, it requires bright, indirect light (or direct sun in cool regions), moist, well-draining soil, and high humidity.
