FAQ About Indoor Plant Native Habitats

What is the natural habitat of a croton plant, and how can it be recreated indoors?

Croton plants (Codiaeum variegatum) are native to Indonesia and Malaysia, where they thrive in forests with warm temperatures and high humidity. To recreate this indoors, place crotons in a location with bright, indirect light, maintain a warm environment (above 60°F or 16°C), and ensure high humidity levels, possibly using a humidifier or by misting the leaves.
