{"product_id":"croton-nervia","title":"Croton Nervia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Croton Nervia is a striking tropical plant prized for its dramatic foliage and vibrant color variations. This cultivar displays deep green leaves with bold red and orange veining that intensifies with bright light exposure, creating a living work of art in any interior space. **Size \u0026amp; Growth**: Typically reaches 2-3 feet indoors, making it ideal for tabletops, shelves, or floor placements in well-lit areas. **Color**: Rich emerald green base with prominent crimson and golden-orange vein patterns that shift and deepen as the plant matures. **Care Requirements**: Thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently warm temperatures between 60-75°F. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring excellent drainage. Mist regularly to maintain humidity and reduce spider mite susceptibility. Rotate monthly for even growth. **Landscaping \u0026amp; Zones**: Perfect for tropical and subtropical gardens (USDA zones 11-12) or as a stunning houseplant in cooler climates. Use as a focal point in mixed container gardens or specimen plantings. **Fun Fact**: Crotons are named from the Greek word \"kroton,\" meaning tick, because their seeds resemble ticks. In their native Indonesian habitat, they're valued for both ornamental beauty and traditional medicinal applications. **Additional Info**: Mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Wear gloves when handling, as sap may irritate sensitive skin. Propagate easily from stem cuttings in spring for new plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colibri Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":47481798689022,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/7867\/2382\/files\/image_25dfa717-0301-44ec-957d-b05222fa8495.jpg?v=1769974387","url":"https:\/\/colibrinursery.myshopify.com\/products\/croton-nervia","provider":"Colibri Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
