Codiaeum variegatum
The Croton Petra grows beautiful bright red, yellow, and green leaves. It is a colorful friend that grows best when given bright light and moderate mistings. The Croton Petra can be fussy when moving to a new location, but given time to adjust to its new home, it will be back to its vibrant self.
🌞 Your Croton Petra will do best in a bright spot, as it needs lots of light (if possible 4-6 hrs. Per day) to produce all those colorful leaves! If your croton does not get enough light, you might find the plant grows tall and lanky with spare leaves lacking the rich, dark hues.
💧 Water when the top 25%-50% of the soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
