Description
The Croton Sunny Star is a vibrant indoor foliage plant known for its slender, pointed leaves in striking green and yellow tones. With its tropical charm and bold colour palette, it instantly uplifts dull corners, entryways, or balconies. At 1.5–2 feet tall, this compact yet eye-catching plant is perfect for tabletops, planters, or floor pots in tighter spaces.
Native to warm climates, Crotons are hardy, dramatic, and low-maintenance — ideal for those who want to add a natural pop of colour indoors without fuss. The Sunny Star variety is especially admired for its elegant shape and artistic foliage that looks almost painted.
Though it prefers brighter conditions, this plant adapts well indoors and works beautifully in Indian homes that get morning or filtered sunlight.
