Croton (Codiaeum) The Croton plant comes in many shapes and colors from yellow, orange, red, green and purple-red. New leaves on the Croton plant are green and change color as the they mature. Crotons are a great plant for adding color in whether it is a dish garden, on your porch or in your landscaping. Siam Croton produces many colors and varieties of Croton plants from 3 pots to 10pots. In Thai language , we call them Go-son , deviated from a 100 year old name Gro-Tron which was obviously derived from Croton. |
The attractiveness of Croton from Thailand |
Though crotons are renowned in amazing capability to produce various leaf types ie. shapes, colors and patterns , Thai people always prefer round leaf croton to any other leaf forms. Hence the ultimate goal for Thai hybridizers is to create a new hybrid bearing largest and most colorful round leaf Croton. Other leaf forms of Thai hybrids are spiral , interrupted (intermittently missing leaf blade) , recurved leaf - leaves curl back on themselves , or amazingly mix of all leaf types . Western hybrids with such leaf types as broad leaf , Oak leaf , narrow leaf etc. seem tasteless for Thai enthusiasts. The trend of Thai Croton hybrids at this moment is shifting from simple round leaf |

to complex leaf Croton . However , the constancy is a must . That means if a new hybrids produce 2 round leaves and then 1 spiral leaf , this sequence must be sustainable.

In Thai language , we call them “ Go-son’ , deviated from a 100 year old name “Gro-Tron” which was obviously derived from Croton.
