CROTON ADDS EXOTIC EXCITEMENT TO INDOOR DECOR: Costa Farms’ Croton houseplant is shipped in a grower’s pot and can be dropped into a decorative pot. Make sure the container has drain holes, because it’s important that croton doesn’t sit in wet soil. To change the look of this plant, simply switch exterior pots or replant it into a new pot. Croton looks beautiful in a pot alone but can also be planted with other houseplants from Costa Farms to create a beautiful tropical indoor garden, ideal for kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. CARE FOR YOUR CROTON PETRA IS EASY: Light: Grow Croton Petra in bright, direct sunlight. Some plants may burn if placed in direct sunlight. Water: Croton Petra likes to be watered once a week with about 1 cup. The frequency of watering may change depending on your plant's pot size, how much light it gets, and the temperature of the environment. Feeding: Feed seasonally in the spring, summer and in autumn. Do not feed in the winter. Use a good quality granular food or a liquid food. Pruning/Shaping: Cut back any yellowing or dying leaves. Trim erratic growth to keep plant in a good shape. Repotting: Repot your plants when they become root bound. (A houseplant is root bound when roots appear in the soil or begin to escape through drain holes in the pot bottom.) Never repot houseplants using soil from your yard. Outdoor Options: Can grow outdoors year-round as landscaping plants or in containers. PLANT SAFETY: Not intended for human or animal consumption.
