    I just bought this houseplant at VG's and it was the last one. There were no stickers to identify it. Does it look familiar to anyone? Also, how do I care for it? Thank you!

    Looks like a species of Codiaeum, Croton.

    Cool! Never seen a curly-leaved one before.
    Generally speaking, crotons like to be warm, moist, and bathed in light.

    I know this is a personal thing, but to me they look kind of sick. Maybe if I got used to it...
