Introduce a burst of pure sunshine to your home with this stunning 'Petra' Croton (Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra').
This specific variety is a showstopper, prized for its expansive, broad, oval-shaped leaves that feature a vibrant blend dark green interiors, contrasted with bold yellow, orange, and red veins and margins as they mature. Each leaf is different !
The listing is for an approximately 40cm tall plant, grown in a 15cm pot.
It is in a foliating stage and will multiply its leaves rapidly, providing immediate architectural impact for your interior space.
Why This Golden Variety Stands Out ?
Instant Impact: At 40cm tall, these are not seedlings; they are established plants ready to make a statement in your home or patio.
Colour Intensity: The intense variegation pattern - specifically the striking colour of the veins against the dark green background - makes it an eye-catching focal point in any room.
Living Art: Its large, glossy, oval-shaped leaves create an artistic and tropical flair that requires no flowers to provide vibrant colour all year round.
Air Purifier: Like other varieties, this croton helps improve indoor air quality.
Quick Care Snapshot
Light: The secret to vibrant colour is plenty of bright, indirect light, or a few hours of direct morning sun. More light equals more distinct vein colour!
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy.
Toxicity: Note that croton plants are considered toxic if ingested.
