Water requirements Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' - 30 cm
It is important for the Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' that the soil remains constantly moist. This is because when the plant's root ball dries out, it is difficult to recover. Give the plant small amounts of water several times a week, taking care not to leave a layer of water in the pot.
