Codiaeum variegatum (Croton) 'Mrs. Iceton' is a colourful croton with broad, smooth leaves in yellow, peach, orange, pink, red and green tones. The upright shrub develops a full leafy shape, with each leaf showing its own mix of warm colour across the blade. Give it bright light, steady warmth and moderate to higher humidity, paired with a loose, well-drained substrate. Keep the mix lightly moist during active growth and allow the upper layer to dry slightly between waterings. Its milky sap can irritate skin and is unsuitable for chewing pets, so keep the plant out of reach.

How to read these values
These care values are practical reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a starting point, then adjust for your room, pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the plant dries.
For more context, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; a lower % means the mix stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: a quick profile of structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks where stress risk increases.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: shows whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: irritating or toxic compounds and physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native region and typical habitat context.
