Description
The Croton Petra features large, green leaves with brightly colored veins. You can expect to see a mix of colors in this plant’s leaf veins including, red, orange, yellow, and occasionally pink to purple.
The Crotons are small, beautiful and unique shrubs that typically stay small to medium-sized, with an average height of 900cm. It has a slow growth rate that can take several years to reach its full size. Crotons are native to the tropical regions of Africa and Asia, so it prefers warm, humid climates.
