Product description

Codiaeum Petra - 180 cm

The Codiaeum Petra, also known as Croton, is a large, colorful eye-catcher that instantly adds warmth and character to your interior. With its glossy, variegated leaves in shades of green, yellow, orange, and red, this plant is perfect as a statement piece in the living room, hallway, or office. Thanks to its height of approximately 180 cm, it fits perfectly in a corner next to the sofa or as a green eye-catcher among other large houseplants .

Appearance & character

  • Tall plant of approx. ↕180 cm with a sturdy trunk and full crown of leaves.
  • Variegated, glossy leaves with striking veins and warm autumn tones – every plant is just a little bit different.
  • Perfect for anyone looking for a colorful alternative to “regular” green houseplants.

Location & light

  • The Codiaeum Petra likes a lot of light ; a bright location is essential for retaining its color.
  • A few hours of soft morning or evening sun is ideal; bright midday sun should be filtered through a curtain.
  • Avoid a place that is too dark – the plant will then lose its colour and the stems will become long and lanky.

Water & care

  • Keep the potting soil slightly moist , but avoid wet feet. Let the top layer of soil dry out briefly before watering again.
  • Feed houseplants every two weeks in spring and summer, less often in autumn and winter.
  • The Codiaeum Petra likes a slightly higher humidity – mist the leaves occasionally with lukewarm water.
  • Avoid drafts and large temperature fluctuations, as these can cause the plant to lose its leaves.

For extra strong and radiant leaves, you can use products from our plant care collection, such as gentle food and good potting soil.
