Brightly colored and pleasing to the eye, Picasso's paintbrush lives up to its name. A narrow-leaved croton hybrid, this croton variety is grown as a houseplant in non-hardy locations. A slow-growing plant, the croton's leaves resemble paintbrushes dipped in various paints. Colors and colors consist of green, yellow, orange, purple, red and copper.
Picasso's Paintbrush grows best in well-drained soil that is evenly moist and moist, requiring full sun to part sun. Croton loses its color when placed in low light areas. A milky sap is released which can irritate the skin for some. When young, Picasso's paintbrush is compact and dense, and as he matures, it becomes more leggy and rounded. Colors may also change as the plant ages.
