Codiaeum variegatum
Not that anyone's asking, but if you're looking for a plant that reflects how you feel on acid—this is it. It's one of the smaller members of the croton family, making it an ideal houseplant. It thrives in warm places, so keep it away from drafty windows.
Bright, indirect light. Can tolerate short periods of direct sun.
SM: ~8" tall and a 4" pot.
Pro-tip: Browning leaves are an indicator of too much water. Adjust watering and new leaves will grow happy and healthy.

I lived in FL for 16 yrs 7 HAD TONS of Natve plants. Now I've moved from 10-a to 5-a. I miss my native plants. I'm not sure when these plants should come in.

This plant looks OK; has some color and looks healthy unlike the pathetic looking large croton I received from you. Hopefully this one will survive.
