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.

This is it
For the longest time I’ve STRUGGLED with finding a mount the works in my Tacoma. I don’t do off reading but every mount I use just can’t hang!! I got this and immediately impressed with the build quality. It’s entirely metal and can tell it’s sturdy. It took me 1 minute to install and the give you the one tool you need to install. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max that baby isn’t going anywhere. You can adjust it with out unscrewing anything and it stays put. If you have a Tacoma stop wasting money on cheap mounts this is the last one you need I promise you

The only phone mount for a taco
This is a really quality product. So quality that I wish they made this for some of my other cars, I don't ever wanna use another phone holder. I was a bit skeptical on the longevity of the spring that holds it open, but a few months later and it feels just as sturdy as new. Fit is immaculate, the phone stays put. Worth the price. You will see when you see the machine finish on this product.

Fantastic Mount especially on rough Roads
Robust and discretely positioned mount. This mount is the real deal. It is by far the highest quality most stable mount that I've ever had in my Tacoma pickup. I also really like that it's positioned closer to the steering wheel in instead of in the windshield, making it easier to view. Very highly recommended!!

Perfecto Product!!
I rarely write reviews, however on this product I need too. This clearly is a pricey phone mount, but after reading so many reviews I went for it & purchased. After opening, I immediately could see & feel the quality of material used. Installation was surprisingly easy & quick to my Tacoma. The mount is very firm, sturdy, very adjustable, perfectly designed product. For as costly as this was, I have absolutely no regrets! Totally can recommend this product to anyone with a Tacoma within the stated production years. So as so many others have said accurately in reviews, I am beyond satisfied even with the cost in mind.
