The Codiaeum Iceton is known for its changing appearance. The leaf of this plant starts with a very light yellow colour and slowly turns into a dark green leaf with red accents. The lower leaves are usually darker than the upper leaves, which gives it a very special appearance. This beautiful, large plant originates from Malaysia, Australia and Indonesia. In its natural environment, this plant can grow up to three metres tall. Fortunately, its growth is limited in our climate and the Codiaeum Iceton also fits well in a living room.

Care
Place the Codiaeum in a sunny spot. The wonder shrub needs at least five hours of sun a day. Place the plant near a window that faces north, east or west. If the plant is placed near a south-facing window, it is advisable to place the plant two metres away from the window, otherwise the plant will receive too much direct sunlight. However, too little light can cause the leaves to fall off or lose their beautiful colour. Fluctuating temperatures can also cause the plant to lose its leaves. This plant does not like draughts. Water the plant sufficiently, preferably three to four times a week in summer and once every five days in winter. The soil should not dry out. It is best to spray the wonder shrub with water once a week to remove dust from the leaves and prevent pests. Be careful, as this houseplant is slightly poisonous to pets.
