Care & tips for the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' - 30 cm
To keep the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' looking its very best, we recommend misting it with water regularly. That keeps the plant healthy and the leaves looking fresher, because dust can't settle on them. Misting also helps you stay ahead of spider mites and mealybugs.
How much water does the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' - 30 cm need?
For the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' it's important that the soil stays constantly moist, because once the root ball has dried out it's hard to bring back. Give the plant a little water several times a week and make sure no layer of water is left standing in the pot.
How much light does the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' - 30 cm need?
The Croton loves a spot in daylight, and that's exactly how it develops its beautiful colours. If little to no new growth appears, it's probably standing somewhere too dark, so move it to a brighter spot.
Is the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' - 30 cm toxic?
The Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' is a member of the spurge family, and the milky sap it can release irritates the skin. Watch out for your clothes too, because the sap can leave nasty stains. It's also important to keep this plant away from pets and small children, as swallowing the sap can be dangerous.
