ABOUT THIS PLANT

Why it belongs at Velora Verde

Croton Petra is a familiar plant with exceptional brand relevance because its color changes dramatically with good light. It performs best when given consistency: a bright position, steady moisture without waterlogging and time to adapt when moved.

Collector note

Crotons may react to sudden changes by dropping leaves. Once adapted to a stable location, new growth is the best indicator of comfort.
