Codiaeum Plant Cultivation and Care:

It is a tropical plant that should be grown in bright environments but not exposed to direct sunlight to avoid serious burns to the leaves. The environment must have an adequate degree of humidity and a constant temperature of about 18 ° C; loves humid environments with average temperatures around 18 ° and not less than 13 °. Areas facing radiators, stoves, fireplaces or entrance doors should be avoided. It grows well in moist, slightly acidic and well-drained soils. As an optimal growing medium to be preferred is a mixture consisting of about 2/3 of universal soil, 1/3 third of humus or compost or leaf soil, and a handful of sand. Water supplies must be regular and abundant throughout the year, using water at room temperature and preferably rainwater. The soil must always be kept moist but never soggy to avoid the onset of root rot. In summer, weekly nebulizations should also be practiced. In the winter months, on the other hand, watering should be reduced and therefore only practiced so as not to let the soil dry out.
