Description: Codiaeum Variegatum 'Petra', commonly known as Croton, is a vibrant tropical plant admired for its stunning, leathery leaves. The foliage of 'Petra' showcases a striking palette of green, yellow, orange, and red, with prominent veins adding depth to its colouration. This XXL specimen, standing 160–180 cm tall in a 40 cm pot, is a bold choice for adding dramatic colour and texture to indoor spaces or conservatories.

Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, Croton 'Petra' thrives in warm, humid environments. Its vibrant appearance and relatively easy care make it a popular choice for creating an exotic, lively atmosphere indoors.


Care Guide

1. Light Requirements

  • Preferred: Bright, indirect sunlight to enhance the vibrant colours of its foliage.
  • Tolerates: Moderate light, though colours may become less vivid.
  • Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and low-light conditions, which may lead to leaf drop.

2. Watering

  • Frequency: Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.
  • Method: Water thoroughly until excess water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any standing water to prevent root rot.
  • Caution: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Crotons are sensitive to both overwatering and underwatering.

3. Humidity

  • Thrives in high humidity (50–70%).
  • Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, placing it near a humidifier, or setting it on a pebble tray with water.

4. Temperature

  • Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F).
  • Protect from temperatures below 15°C (59°F), cold drafts, and sudden temperature changes, as these can cause stress and leaf drop.

5. Soil

  • Requires a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix.
  • Use a standard houseplant soil mix with added perlite or sand to improve drainage.

6. Fertilising

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Reduce feeding in autumn and stop during winter when growth slows.

7. Pruning

  • Prune regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.
  • Remove yellowing, damaged, or dead leaves at the base to keep the plant healthy and tidy.

8. Repotting

  • Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, using a slightly larger pot.
  • For large specimens, top-dress annually by replacing the top layer of soil with fresh mix.

9. Propagation

  • Croton 'Petra' can be propagated through stem cuttings.
  • Take cuttings with at least one node and a few leaves, and root them in water or moist potting soil.

10. Common Problems

  • Leaf Drop: Often caused by sudden changes in temperature, low humidity, or drafts. Ensure stable conditions and adequate moisture.
  • Faded Colours: Indicates insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter location with indirect sunlight.
  • Brown Leaf Edges: Typically caused by low humidity or underwatering. Increase humidity and adjust watering as needed.

11. Pests

  • Susceptible to spider mites, mealybugs, and scale.
  • Inspect leaves regularly and treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Styling Tips

  • Position the XXL Croton 'Petra' in a bright, prominent location, such as a sunny corner or near a large window, to highlight its vibrant, multicoloured foliage.
  • Use the included 40 cm pot or place it in a decorative planter in neutral tones to complement its dramatic colours.
  • Pair it with plants with contrasting green foliage for a stunning visual effect.
  • Incorporate it into modern or tropical-inspired interiors for a lively, exotic touch.

Benefits of Codiaeum Variegatum 'Petra'

  • Ornamental Appeal: Its multicoloured, glossy leaves bring warmth and vibrancy to any space.
  • Air-Purifying: Improves indoor air quality by filtering toxins.
  • Tropical Aesthetic: Adds an exotic, lush vibe to homes, offices, or conservatories.

The XXL Croton 'Petra' is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a bold, colourful, and easy-to-maintain plant. Its impressive height and striking foliage make it a true statement piece that transforms any interior into a vibrant tropical retreat.

it's not bad
a coffee, tea, and alcohol drinker so i've gone thru a few of these. i knew i wouldn't see immediate results so i just tried to consistently brush my teeth with this. i can't say it made my teeth whiter but i think it brightened my teeth and helps to prevent it from staining? i didn't irritate my teeth or gums which is important, it helped my mouth to feel cleaner or was it bc of the flavors in it that makes it feel like that? also this little container is too expensive!

Great Product
Its a good product. It works gradually whitening teeth. I use this powder on top of the Boka Prebiotic toothpaste and I have to say I am pretty impressed how clean my teeth are, the whitening and no sensitivity issues.

Awful packaging
Just got the product so I can’t give opinion on if it works to whiten my teeth but I will say the packaging is awful. The powder gets all over the lip of the container and all over the sink. Hard pass unless you want to clean your sink each time you use it.

all the information you need in one book
Format: Paperback
I recently picked up Astral Projection for Beginners, recommended by a friend, and I wish I had discovered it sooner! Having tried to master astral travel with another book, I struggled to make progress, but Grace’s guide covers everything you need to know to successfully navigate this fascinating practice. The book delves into techniques for transitioning from your physical body to your astral body, addressing the fears that may arise during the process. Grace explains how fear can pull you back into your physical form, providing insights on what to expect when you embark on astral travel. This comprehensive approach makes it an essential read for anyone serious about exploring this realm. One of the standout features of the book is the inclusion of various case studies detailing the experiences of individuals who have successfully astral traveled, along with Grace’s own firsthand accounts. This blend of practical information and personal narratives makes the material relatable and engaging. You learn so much from others’ experiences, and it adds a layer of authenticity to the guidance provided. I had a close call with astral travel just last night while using the rope technique. When I caught sight of my physical body from my astral body, I panicked and was instantly pulled back. Grace addresses this fear in her book, explaining that it’s a common reaction and offering strategies to overcome it. I appreciated her reassurance and guidance, which gave me the confidence to try again tonight. As I was finishing the book on my way to New York, I felt inspired and determined to attempt astral travel again. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this practice. It’s a well-rounded resource that includes all the information you need—and then some—to successfully explore the world of astral travel.
