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 is a tropical plant celebrated for its vibrant, multicolored leaves that range from deep greens to bright yellows, reds, and oranges. Native to India and Malaysia, it belongs to the spurge family and is a popular indoor plant known for its striking foliage. The plant's bushy growth habit makes it ideal for adding a tropical touch to your home or garden. At gardengro, we source healthy, well-nurtured Croton Petra plants to ensure they thrive in your space.
Croton Petra plants thrive in medium to bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place your plant near an east or north-facing window where it can receive gentle morning sunlight. In India, a bright balcony or well-lit living room with indirect light is perfect. Too little light can cause the leaves to lose their vibrant colors, so ensure it gets enough light to maintain its stunning appearance.
Water your Croton Petra when the topsoil 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 to avoid evaporation. The plant prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Maintain moderate humidity levels, especially in dry climates, by misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray of water nearby.
The Croton Petra is toxic to pets if ingested. Its sap contains compounds that can cause irritation to the mouth, skin, and digestive system. Keep the plant out of reach of cats, dogs, and other curious pets. If you have pets, consider placing it in a high spot or a room they can't access. Always wash your hands after handling the plant to avoid any skin irritation.
