Codiaeum 'Excellent' - Josephs Coat

If you like brightly coloured foliage and are prepared to give some care then consider Codeaeum. The colouration of the leaves changes and intensifies as they mature producing a varied palette of usually bright colour on the same plant (which gives rise to the common name of Josephs Coat).

Site: A bright position.

Temp: Keep warm

Water: Keep well watered in summer and infrequently in winter. Try to keep humidity up with misting and use a pebble tray if possible.

Feeding: A liquid feed every 3 weeks or so.

Tip: To get the best from these stunning plants a fairly constant temperature, high humidity and good light are required.
