Fun facts
The Codiaeum Sunny Star is famously known for its storytelling leaves that change with the seasons. Observers can enjoy a show as the green leaves subtly shift hues, displaying vibrant yellow and sometimes red spots. This chameleon-like ability often sparks creativity, making it a favourite among artists and designers. It's said that the plant can feel your emotions, turning redder if you're particularly joyful, a fun myth shared among enthusiasts. Whether there's magic in the air or not, its lively colours are sure to bring a smile, whatever the season.
Signs of weakness
If your Codiaeum Sunny Star is feeling under the weather, you might notice its leaves starting to droop or change to a more muted pale colour. This might be its little way of asking for more light or a gentle boost in humidity. Dark, crispy spots can hint at sunburn, while excessive leaf drop suggests it’s caught a chill or possibly a draught.
