How to care for a Codiaeum var. GR 'Excellent'

Watering and humidity for Codiaeum var. GR 'Excellent'

Codiaeum var. GR 'Excellent' prefers even watering and a light humidity. Water your Codiaeum var. GR 'Excellent' about once a week, depending on the room temperature.

Mist the leaves occasionally to increase the humidity around your plant.

Light requirements for Codiaeum var. GR 'Excellent'

Common problems with Codiaeum var. GR 'Excellent'
