Care & tips for the Bambino Croton Petra - 20cm
The Bambino Croton Petra needs a warm, humid environment and likes a bright spot without harsh direct sunlight. Keep the soil evenly and slightly moist; this plant is not hardy and can't survive frost outdoors. Dusting the leaves regularly and keeping them clean encourages healthy growth. Turn the pot every now and then so the plant grows evenly.
How much water does the Bambino Croton Petra - 20cm need?
This Croton likes consistently moist soil, but shouldn't sit in wet soil. Let the top layer of potting soil dry out a little before watering again. Leaving it dry for too long can cause leaf loss.
How much light does the Bambino Croton Petra - 20cm need?
The Bambino Croton Petra prefers plenty of bright, indirect light so its leaf patterns can really shine. Put it by a window where it gets lots of light but not the full midday sun. Too little light can cause the leaf colour to fade.
Is the Bambino Croton Petra - 20cm toxic?
The Bambino Croton Petra is mildly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and pets.
