<p><i>Codiaeum variegatum</i>, a tropical plant native to both lowland and upland rainforests, thrives best in well-developed environments. It is more frequently found in drier regions within the rainforest and is particularly abundant in areas with soil derived from recent basalt flows, with elevations reaching up to 800 meters. This versatile plant can thrive in various light conditions, from full sun to dense shade, depending on the specific variety. Propagation of the plant is typically done through cuttings.</p>
