Product information "Hydro - Croton Codiaeum Petra"

The croton Codiaeum Petra is a tropical plant that originally comes from Southeast Asia. In Europe, it became known as an ornamental plant because of its brightly coloured leaves. Its various colours, from red and yellow to green, make it a striking plant in any room and bring tropical accents to your home.

Care tips for Codiaeum Petra in hydroculture:

Light:
The croton Codiaeum Petra loves bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves and cause the colours to fade. A spot with indirect light is ideal, and a little morning or evening sun is also beneficial. Too little light can inhibit growth and make the leaf colours fade.

Water:
In hydroculture, it is crucial that the water level in the hydroculture pot is always within the optimal range – ideally between "minimum" and "optimum" on the water level indicator. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. The plant's water level should be checked regularly and topped up. Make sure the water stays clean to prevent algae growth.

Temperature and humidity:
The croton Codiaeum Petra prefers warm temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. It is important to avoid draughts and sudden temperature fluctuations. This plant loves high humidity. Especially in the winter months, when the air in heated rooms becomes dry, it helps to mist the plant occasionally with water or use a humidifier to increase humidity.

Feeding:
During the growing season in spring and summer, the croton Codiaeum Petra should be fed with a special hydroculture fertiliser every four to six weeks. It is advisable to reduce the amount of fertiliser to about 50% of the recommended dose to avoid over-fertilising. In the winter months, when growth slows down, feeding can be suspended or greatly reduced.

Leaf care:
The bright leaves of the croton should be dusted regularly to support photosynthesis. A damp cloth can be used to remove dust and deposits that could impair the leaf surface. Yellowed or damaged leaves should be removed to keep the plant healthy and make room for new growth.
