What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Croton Petra 'Joseph's Coat' for its stunning, vibrant coloration, featuring deep reds, bright yellows, and rich oranges. Satisfaction is also high due to the seller's exceptional, protective packaging, ensuring plants arrive healthy and often larger than expected. A key consideration is the plant's known sensitivity; some buyers experience initial leaf drop during acclimation, which requires immediate high humidity and consistent light. Despite this necessary adjustment period, the consensus is that the plant's exceptional beauty and the reliable shipping make this a highly recommended purchase for those prepared to meet its specific care requirements.
