Description
The Petra Croton is a showstopper with its vibrant multi-coloured leaves and dense bushy growth. At 2 to 2.5 feet in height, it’s one of the most striking indoor or semi-shade plants — adding instant colour and tropical charm to any corner, balcony, or entryway.
Its foliage features a bold mix of yellow, red, orange, and deep green, often outlined in vivid veining that looks hand-painted. The Petra variety is especially admired for its fullness — its dense leaf structure creates a rich, textured look ideal for large planters.
This plant thrives in bright indirect light and can handle partial sunlight. With minimal maintenance, it holds its colour year-round and continues to grow into a fuller, more vivid specimen.
