Care Instructions:

To ensure the healthy growth and longevity of your Croton Petra plant in its 8-inch nursery pot, follow these care instructions:

1. Lighting: Croton Petra plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive several hours of bright, filtered sunlight each day. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy. Water your Croton Petra when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Ensure proper drainage by emptying any excess water from the saucer or nursery pot.

3. Temperature and Humidity: Croton Petra plants prefer temperatures between 15-29°C. They appreciate higher humidity levels, so consider placing the plant near a humidifier or using a pebble tray to increase humidity around the plant.

4. Fertilization: Feed your Croton Petra with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

5. Pruning: As the Croton Petra grows, you may need to prune it to maintain its desired shape and size. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves and trim back leggy or overgrown branches.
