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, Euphorbiaceae, native to India and Malaysia. It's celebrated for its brightly colored leaves that come in various shades of green, yellow, red, and orange. This tropical shrub has become a popular indoor plant choice in India due to its stunning appearance and air-purifying qualities.

Croton plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight as it can burn their vibrant leaves. The ideal placement is in east or north-facing areas where morning sunlight can gently fall on them. These plants do well in living rooms, bright balconies, and terraces where they receive adequate light without being scorched. If you notice the colors fading, it might indicate the plant needs more light.
Water your Croton plant when the soil is completely dry. Since these plants are 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 allow the plant to absorb moisture effectively. Croton plants appreciate moderate humidity levels, so occasional misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can be beneficial, especially in dry climates.
Croton plants are toxic to pets if ingested. The sap contains compounds that can cause irritation to the mouth and digestive tract in cats and dogs. If you have pets at home, it's best to place your Croton plant in an area they can't access. While the plant is safe for humans to handle, it's advisable to wash your hands after touching it, especially if you have sensitive skin.
