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 Petra Bushy is a tropical plant celebrated for its striking, multicolored leaves that feature combinations of green, yellow, red, and orange. Native to India and Malaysia, this plant belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and is prized for its bushy growth habit and vibrant foliage. It's a popular choice for indoor spaces where it serves as both a decorative element and an air purifier. The plant's ability to thrive indoors while adding a tropical touch makes it a favorite among homeowners and office decorators across India.
The Croton Petra Bushy prefers medium to bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its foliage colors tend to be more vibrant when it receives adequate filtered sunlight. Place your plant near east or north-facing windows where it can enjoy morning light without being exposed to harsh direct rays that might burn its leaves. Avoid placing it in dark corners or areas with intense afternoon sun, as this can cause leaf scorching and color fading.
Water your Croton Petra Bushy when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Since it's primarily an indoor plant, it may take a few days for the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water during early morning or late evening hours to allow the plant to absorb moisture before the heat of the day or overnight. The plant appreciates moderate humidity levels, so occasional misting or placing it near other plants can help create a more humid environment, especially during dry seasons.
The Croton Petra Bushy is toxic to pets if ingested. Its sap contains compounds that can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat, as well as digestive upset in cats and dogs. If you have curious pets at home, it's best to place this plant in an area they can't access. While it's safe for humans to handle, washing your hands after touching the plant is recommended, especially if you have sensitive skin.
