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 Long Leaf Multi-coloured is a tropical plant native to India and Malaysia, belonging to the spurge family Euphorbiaceae. It's celebrated for its striking foliage that features a vibrant mix of colors including green, yellow, red, and orange. This plant grows naturally in warm, humid environments and has been adapted as a popular indoor houseplant worldwide. In India, it's often used in landscaping and as an ornamental plant due to its eye-catching appearance and relatively easy care requirements. The plant's leaves change color as they mature, creating a dynamic visual display that evolves over time.
The Croton Long Leaf Multi-coloured thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct morning sunlight, harsh afternoon sun can scorch its leaves, causing the vibrant colors to fade. For best results, place your plant near an east or north-facing window where it receives gentle morning light. In offices or homes with limited natural light, you can use grow lights to supplement. The plant's color intensity is directly related to light exposure - more light generally results in more vibrant colors. Avoid placing it in dark corners as this can cause leaf drop and reduced coloration.
Water your Croton Long Leaf Multi-coloured when the top inch of soil feels completely dry. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but frequency depends on your home's temperature, humidity, and light conditions. It's best to water in the early morning or late evening to allow the plant to absorb moisture before the heat of the day. The plant appreciates moderate humidity, so in dry climates or during winter months, misting the leaves or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain optimal humidity levels. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot, which is one of the most common issues with crotons.
Important note: The Croton Long Leaf Multi-coloured is toxic to pets if ingested. All parts of the plant contain a milky sap that can cause irritation to the mouth and digestive tract if chewed or swallowed by cats, dogs, or other animals. Symptoms may include drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. If you have pets, it's best to place this plant in an area they cannot access. For pet owners who still want to enjoy the beauty of crotons, consider placing them on high shelves or in hanging baskets out of reach of curious animals.
