Description
The Petra Croton is a classic and eye-catching houseplant known for its vibrant, veined leaves that look like they’re painted in shades of yellow, green, red, and orange. This 1 to 1.5-foot tall variety is compact yet bold, and it arrives in a nursery grow bag, making it perfect for repotting into your favourite decorative planter.
The Petra’s broad oval leaves with bright contrasting veins offer a dynamic look that adds instant energy to indoor spaces, balconies, or shaded gardens. This plant thrives in warm light and rewards you with more intense colours the more brightness it gets. It’s hardy, long-lasting, and brings that tropical vibe without demanding too much in return.
It’s also great as a gifting plant thanks to its tidy size and low upkeep. Whether you’re styling your own space or sending some colour to someone else, Petra Croton delivers beauty with ease.
