I inherited this plant and I don't know what it is. I think it is from the croton family but from what I have heard they are toxic and this one doesn't seem to be. I say that because my mother had it before I got it and when I lived with her I raised puppies for a service dog training facility. During that time every single one of the puppies I raised, at some point or another, got a hold of the leaves of the plant. I don't remember any of them going back for seconds but none of them were seriously harmed by it.

What I need to know though is what it is? How to replant it? or how to get a cutting to make a new one? Even though it is not a large plant, only about 25-30 inches tall, it really is too large for my appartment.

Here is a link to the pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/40139076@N07/3692328381/

Thank you for any help you can give.

I belive that a Very NIce lookijng "Codiaeum Variegetum Pictum" or Croton

They do best with 4-more hours of Direct sun
And barely mosit soil

Keep up the nice looking plant!
