    Hello everyone. I picked up another plant and i believe it may be a Croton. Can anyone be more specific? I read there are 100s of variegated types of Crotons.

    Thanks!

    yes, it's a croton and, yes, there are hundreds of color variations. i'm not all that familiar with them so i'm no help on variety name. i'm sure someone else will be along that can help with that.

    Thanks. Most of the other Crotons i've seen had stripes. I'm surprised how may varieties there are.

    Codiaeum variegatum, commonly called a Croton, although it's not really. C. variegatum "Aurea-maculatum" perhaps - there are hundreds of cultivars.
