Plant Details & Size
The Golden Petra is a bold and vibrant accent plant that brings a welcome pop of color to any surface it adorns. An easy-care variety of the Croton family, it requires plenty of bright light to develop its rich, colorful hues.
*Please note that plants are grown naturally and can vary in height ± 10%. If you're looking for a specific height, please reach out and we'd be happy to help.
Is This the Right Plant for You?
Also known as the “Croton Petra”, this plant is native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and Oceania. For decades, plants in the Croton family were considered outdoor-only, needing several hours of direct light to thrive. Today, new, more adaptable varieties like the Golden Petra allow us to easily own and admire this plant’s beautiful foliage in our homes.

Generally speaking, the nicest plants you can buy online
Typically, your plants come show room ready. The way they are prepared is very nice. On the other hand, your products are far and way the most expensive.
