Growing Conditions

Light: Bright indirect to direct light, 6-8 hours a day. More light = more colors! Lack of light will cause leaves to turn green. An east or south-facing window is recommended.

Watering: When the top layer (2-3 cm) is dry, about once a week. Leaves will wilt slightly as a sign of thirst. Avoid overwatering!

Humidity: Loves high humidity (40-80%)! Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or a humidifier. This is the key to success.

Temperature: 15-27°C. Does not tolerate cold! Keep away from cold windows and air conditioners. Sensitive to sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizing: Diluted balanced fertilizer every two months in spring and summer. Do not fertilize in winter when the plant is dormant.
Common Problems

A common reaction to being moved! Also temperature changes, over/under-watering. Don't panic - it will recover.

Pro Tip

The Petra Croton is the "drama queen" of the plant world—it's very sensitive to being moved and drops leaves in protest! Find it a bright spot and leave it there. Don't be alarmed if a few leaves fall in the first few weeks—this is a normal adjustment reaction. The secret to vibrant colors is light, light, and more light! Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth. High humidity is key—daily misting or a pebble tray will do wonders.
