I don’t think your plant is a croton, but is instead a ficus elastica. The red would be quite normal if that’s the case, as yours would be a variegation of the original ficus elastica. Here’s the ID for it to compare to yours. Hope this helps! ### Andi님이 2024-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I believe this is another plant not a croton. Hence the coloring changes. Nothing looks wrong with the coloring as far as that goes. Just want for crisping or burning marks on leaves which could be too much light. But it looks healthy. Like the other person said it looks like a ficus more than a croton. 🪴 ### Moriah님이 2024-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I was about to say am I trippin or is that definitely not a croton and that’s a rubber plant (I think) of some sort lol ### Holly님이 2024-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I called it a croton because that’s what the app identifies it as before it turned red it was solid green and it you look in the middle it’s got curly shoots coming out of the center 😅 I’m just confused and concerned I’m hurting my plant. Thank you ### Matilda님이 2024-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Ficus shivereana / Moonshine - looks like the other baby ones I’ve seen! The new leaves growing in the reddish sheaths also makes me think it’s one of these #### GreenLeaf님이 2024-08-11에 답변했습니다. 💯 #### S.R님이 2024-08-11에 답변했습니다. This is it! I have one that looks identical - I actually did a double take when I saw yours!! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/KQc8xQtzX_hgW9qV4MJoMtVZRz2EwW96zQMr7zTiCZI/J__r4RXGToa_xMEZwANHew.webp?size=large) ### Dondoo52님이 2024-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I can see how it could be identified as a croton. Usually the red coloring is how plants respond to full sunlight. ### Mullein님이 2024-08-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. I just peeked at your progress picture for this plant and wow! It’s really come a far way fast. It is definitely happy on your porch! It has grown so much more healthy so quickly! #### Holly님이 2024-08-11에 답변했습니다. Thank you it has one damaged leaf on the bottom and that happened inside but other than that I agree it’s doing well outside. My plants inside have a gnat problem though --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
