Croton tiglium, commonly known as the croton oil plant, is a bushy, columnar upright evergreen from the Euphorbiaceae family. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers a sheltered aspect, including north, east, or west-facing positions. This cultivar grows best in fertile, moist but well-drained loam soil with a pH ranging from acid to alkaline. Suitable as a houseplant in the UK with an H1B hardiness rating, it is propagated by air layering or softwood cuttings and is particularly attractive during spring and summer.
