Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Croton plant is an extensive genus in the spurge family, known for its brightly colored and captivating leaves. Native to India and Malaysia, this tropical beauty comes in many varieties, each offering unique color combinations. Its vibrant foliage makes it a popular choice for indoor decor, adding a touch of the exotic to homes and offices. The plant's bushy growth habit also makes it suitable for creating natural privacy screens in landscaping.
Croton plants thrive in medium or filtered light. They should be kept away from direct sunlight, which can burn their colorful leaves. The ideal placement is in east or north-facing areas where they can receive gentle morning sunlight. In spaces with lower light, the plant may lose some of its vibrant colors, so it's best to provide adequate filtered light to maintain its striking appearance.
Water your Croton plant when the soil is completely dry. Since it's mostly kept indoors, it may take a few days for the soil to dry out completely. Water during early morning or late evening hours. The plant appreciates moderate humidity, so occasional misting or placing it near other plants can help create a more humid environment. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
The Croton plant is toxic to pets if ingested. Its sap contains compounds that can cause irritation to the mouth and digestive tract in cats and dogs. If you have pets, it's best to place the plant in an area they cannot access. Keep in mind that while the plant is safe for humans, it should be kept away from curious pets to prevent any health issues.
