Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra'

#croton #croton-petra Had a gift card for Homesense so I picked up this basket planter for one of my plants. Trying the croton but since they do not like to be moved , I will have to keep an eye on it. 😄

Looking good so far.

Their such a pretty plant. I love the colors in the foliage but they are a bit picky. Like you said, especially when u move them. Yours looks great!!😊💕

Very nice!

Thanks so much everyone. Hope it survives the move. If not it will return to its original spot. 🤞🤞 @charlotte @terrimclaughlin @richard.spicer.7906 @KOutdoors

Love those dark red❤️❤️❤️ In my case, it took several weeks for me to find the best spot for healthy colouring of leaves. First, it was too bright, then next it was too dark. Now found the best spot where the plant gets morning sun for only a few hours.

Looks great in that pot! Hope it stays happy and colourful for you😍

Thanks so much Katy. I put a special grow light nearby and the humidifier is not far away. 🤞🤞 @gjones

Thanks Karen 😄 @KOutdoors

Thanks so much. I hope it likes this spot. Only time will tell. So happy you found the right spot for yours. 🤞🤞😍 @rikkie

It looks great in that planter.

Thanks Susan. I was lucky to find it as it was the last one. 🤗 @novicegardenlover

That’s looking great Diane! Lots of lovely reds and yellows.

Fabulous.. killed mine !!😬

Thanks Katy. Love the colours on this one. I have managed to get some new leaves on my original croton but the are all green with yellow spots. I thought it was a goner but I repotted it and put it under a growlight. It seems happy now. 🤞🤞🤞 @gjones

Thanks Julie. They are finicky plants. I thought I killed my original one but it seems to be coming back. 🤞🤞🤞 @juliesgarden

That’s looking fantastic!

Thanks so kindly. My last one is now down to 3 sad leaves so I hope I can keep this one alive. Found this at Costco when I was not looking for plants. 😆 @gjones

Thanks Karen. I agree. It is in a very small growers pot so I will repot it very soon. Then it should spread out a little. 😄 @KOutdoors

It’s gorgeous!! Love that veining! 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks very much. Could not resist it. My other croton I have had for a few years only has 3 small leaves left. Have been wanting a new one for a while. 😍 @cheriej
