Many connoisseurs of beautiful and unusual home flowers grow the "Petra" codiaum. It is a perennial crop with high decorative qualities. Caring for her has many nuances, but the colorful leaves, pleasing to the eye, are worth the efforts of flower growers.
Description
Codiaum variegatum "Petra" is one of the varieties of the numerous Euphorbiaceae family. It is often called "Peter's croton" among the people. It should be noted that croton and codiaum are not the same thing. The first species includes more than a thousand varieties, and the second - less than 20. Both species are tropical. And although croton does not imply home cultivation, due to its external similarity, many consider it a codiaum.
All representatives of the genus Codiaum are rather large plants. They reach the greatest height, developing in greenhouses with organized heating. There, these representatives of the flora grow up to 4 meters. As for the Petra croton, at home it is usually limited to a meter height. There are also very small specimens measuring only 60-70 cm.
The stems of the plant are flexible and resilient. The numerous leaves covering the crop are rather large. They are oval in shape with pointed ends. The color varies from deep green to maroon. A yellow frame and a spectacular pattern of the same color give a special decorative effect to the foliage.
Flowers have no aesthetic value. They are small in size and nondescript in appearance.
