Why Croton Petra Plants?
Croton Petras are unique house plants that set the bar high: Multiple vivid colors in their foliage, from vibrant yellows and greens to red and purple, impress. The leaves have brighter color veins with contrasting, darker greens in the middle, creating a wow-worthy show of contrasting hues.
Plus, Croton Petras are compact container plants and will thrive anywhere indoors. Keep them on the kitchen table for a showy centerpiece or in the office to liven up a dull room. They can be kept in smaller or larger containers - either way, they thrive effortlessly.

I love my Croton
My croton arrived nicely packed for shipping, It has really grown since I potted it. I love all the colors that the leaves have. It seems to be doing really well so I bought another one. It's super low maintenance, just a bit of water, but I do steam it when I take a warm shower. It seems to really like it.
Maturing beautifully
Gorgeous tree. use cinnamon powder to **** gnats;sprinkle on soil and leaves. Water when top soil is,dry, use a water soluble fertilizer high in monopotassium, I buy from amazon. I keep it on an east side spot by Corridor entrance. In the Summer I keep it out in the yard.
Not easy as advertised
Came loaded with those little annoying soil gnats. Could never get completely rid of them. Watched that plant do a slow death, slowly losing all the leaves...
We are so sorry to hear this! We're going to reach out to you and offer some options for a replacement.
Croton 'Petra'
Most helpful care information. We are enjoying our new Croton 'Petra'.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: During the winter months, the Croton Petra enjoys bright light. As for spring and summer, it does well with indirect light and a bit of dappled shade. However, the Croton prefers warm temperatures, so be sure to keep it away from drafty areas.
When you're repotting or planting your Petra Plant, select a container that's twice the width of the shipped container and one that has drainage holes.
2. Watering: Water your Petra Plant lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Our rule of thumb: Put your finger in the soil to check its level of moisture. There is no need to water your Croton Petra until you have a full inch of dryness starting from the top of the soil.
