The Croton 'Fire' has narrower, longer leaves than the Croton 'Petra'. It has bright colorful leaves in shades of green, yellow, orange, and red. It thrives with ample light and in a humid environment. It is also a well-known air purifier.

Indoor houseplants need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain healthy leaves, vibrant flowers, and a strong root system. Most indoor houseplant plant foods will provide the right amount of nutrients for a wide variety of plants. Many include additional nutrients that are beneficial to plants such as boron, magnesium, and manganese. Plant foods come in different forms such as liquid, slow-release, or granular products.

This type of soil mix is ideal for most houseplants because it’s well-draining, lightweight, and easy to handle. A good indoor houseplant soil mix will include ingredients such as compost, pine bark, coir, worm castings, peat moss, hydrafiber, or perlite.

The vibrant multicolored leaves will brighten up any room.
