Codiaeum variegatum (Croton) 'Petra'

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' is a classic broad-leaved croton with pointed oval leaves and bold yellow, orange, pink and red markings along the main veins. It forms an upright, woody shrub with glossy foliage and a dense canopy when grown warm and bright.

Firm leaves held along sturdy stems give the plant an upright outline. As new foliage matures, different colour stages build across the crown in bright indoor spaces.

Standout details of Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra'

  • Broad, pointed oval leaves with strong coloured venation
  • Upright evergreen shrub habit indoors
  • Glossy, leathery foliage on woody stems
  • Layered canopy as leaves mature through colour stages
  • Widely grown croton cultivar for bright indoor containers

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' venation and growth habit

Codiaeum variegatum is a wet-tropical shrub or small tree from Malesia to the southwest Pacific, belonging to Euphorbiaceae. The species has produced many cultivated foliage forms with different leaf shapes and colour patterns. 'Petra' has broad pointed leaves with colour following the main veins.

Indoors, Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' develops as a manageable container shrub. The leaves are alternate, thick and glossy, and older stems gradually become woodier. Flowering is occasional in warm, bright conditions, but the small flowers are secondary to the foliage.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' care

  • Light: Choose a very bright filtered position. Acclimated plants can take gentle direct sun; harsh midday summer sun behind glass can scorch foliage.
  • Watering: Water when the top 2–3 cm of substrate start to dry. Keep moisture even during active growth and reduce slightly in winter.
  • Substrate: Use a fertile, well-drained potting mix with bark, organic matter and mineral drainage. Broad-leaved crotons need both moisture and root aeration.
  • Temperature: Keep above 15 °C and protect from draughts. Stable warmth between 18 °C and 28 °C keeps new leaves forming steadily.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity reduces dry edges during new leaf expansion.
  • Feeding: Feed at low strength during the main growing season. Reduce feeding in low light or after repotting.
  • Cleaning: Wipe dusty leaves gently with water. Clean foliage makes scale and spider mite checks easier.
  • Pruning: Prune in spring to shape tall stems and encourage branching. Wear gloves, as sap can irritate skin and stain fabric.
  • Repotting: Repot once roots fill the container, using a pot only slightly larger. Fresh mix matters more than excess pot volume.
  • Propagation: Propagate through warm stem cuttings or air layering to keep 'Petra' true to type.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' leaf and root warnings

  • Lower leaf drop: Check cold draughts, recent relocation, dry substrate and wet roots. Correct the main stress point and avoid repeated moves.
  • Brown tips or margins: Review humidity, watering consistency and fertiliser salt build-up. Flush the pot and return to steadier watering.
  • Scale insects: Look for small raised bumps along stems and veins. Remove visible insects and repeat treatment through the next growth cycle.
  • Spider mite stippling: Pale dots and fine webbing point to mites, especially in dry heated rooms. Rinse leaves and isolate the plant early.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' toxicity and safety

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' is not pet-safe. The milky sap can irritate skin and eyes, and ingestion may irritate the mouth and digestive tract. Keep it away from pets and children, and wear gloves when pruning, repotting or taking cuttings.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' etymology and botanical background

Codiaeum variegatum (L.) Rumph. ex A.Juss. is the accepted botanical name for the species behind 'Petra', in Euphorbiaceae. Codiaeum traces back to Ternate kodiho, while variegatum describes variegated colouring.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Petra' has broad croton leaves with coloured veins and a classic upright habit.

Surprisingly Amazing!
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I bought this expecting it to be a cheaper product I would use until I bought something better. I was very surprised to see how nice it was! Very solid and non slip surface on the bottom. The wood on it looks great and one of the most awesome things about it is you can manually adjust it to fit your laptop. I have a heavy16 inch MacBook Pro with a case on it and it fits perfectly in this stand, after adjusting it, of course. I ended up buying another one for my work office too. I can’t wait to try other products from this company.

INCREASED DESK SPACE - ORGANIZED
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
I just received my new Vertical Laptop Stand by UPERGO! I had no idea that this device could free up so much space on my desk! AND, it looks great, very rich & professional with the solid wood, Walnut dividers. It has solid weight so your laptops won't just tumble or slide away either. The dividers that hold up to 2 laptops will also hold your cell phone. What an clever invention by UPERGO! I am now able to keep both of my laptops in the same space which frees up substantial workspace for me. The feature that allows me to adjust the width for different sized laptops is GREAT. I was at wits end how to add ventilation to my laptop as it became so hot. It now runs much, much cooler because the fan/air flow is vertical as opposed to flat on my desk. So many improvements in just one device. Thanks to UPERGO for this fine device which makes my desk look better & so much more functional! I highly recommend to anyone that spends time with laptops at their desk!

Attractive and Solid Laptop Stand
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
The premium quality at this affordable price is a great deal to me. You'd see these sort of designs sold on high-end desk organization companies at expensive ($$) prices. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this is a solid laptop stand that was built with the utmost attention to detail. The walnut panels are lined with scratch-resistant felt pads while the aluminum base has a silicone cushion to protect your devices when placing them in. The silicone feet and sturdy weight prevents the stand from moving and tipping over. The adjustability feature is great, especially if you want to accommodate several devices or even books. Per its specifications, I find that it accurately accommodates items ranging from 2cm (0.7in) up to 4cm (1.5in) in width. It fits my 2020 Macbook Air 13" perfectly.

Works and looks great.
Color: Walnut
Looks, fits and works great. Helps to keep the fan free to flow, and clears up desk space. Once you get one of these, you’ll probably never go back.
