Why this product works
Product details & specifications
The Artificial Potted Flaming Zebra Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) presents the vivid, multi-coloured foliage of the Codiaeum in a potted indoor specimen. The croton's defining characteristic is its extraordinary foliar colour range — the Flaming Zebra variety displaying combinations of green, yellow, orange, and red simultaneously. In living form, the croton is temperature-sensitive and prone to leaf drop; this artificial version delivers the Flaming Zebra's vivid colour palette permanently. Constructed from LDPE with integrated RealTex technology.
The Flaming Zebra croton's multi-coloured leaves — green, yellow, orange, and red simultaneously — create a botanical colour statement unlike any other commonly specified indoor plant.
