Croton Petra (Codiaeum Variegatum)



Nothing is making me happier right now than watching my Croton Petra (thanks Ben!) plant grow. It is much more exciting than I imagined. Sadly, I've managed to kill most of the other plants I've brought home. I bought this Croton Petra at the Union Square Green Market back in January and it recently started sprouting new leaves. Now it grows a little bit every day and I check on it every few hours when I am home so I can see all the small changes. I will continue to document the progress and the birth of all new baby leaves.
