Croton 'Banana'
Codiaeum variegatum 'banana'

This sh*t is bananas! No really, his leaf shape resembles bananas—they're even partially yellow! He's one of the smaller members of his large croton family, making him an ideal houseplant. He thrives in warm environments, so keep him away from drafty windows.

Bright indirect light. Can tolerate short periods of direct light.

Once a week when soil is nearly dry 2" down.

Toxic if ingested.

Grows outwards and bushy.

Moderate to high humidity.

Pro-tip: The more light, the more vibrant and yellow the leaves will become. Try a South or West facing window.
