Where should I put it?
Codiaeums like high or direct sunlight, a humid, sunny spot.
How much should I water?
Soil should be kept moist but not soggy. The best advice is to water when you feel the top couple of inches of soil are dry. Our secret tip is to put Codiaeum Petra on a bed of pebbles with water; it works wonders for this plant.
Is this plant suitable if you have pets?
Codiaeums are toxic to cats and dogs.
Should I feed this houseplant?
You can give this plant a feed in spring and summer - why not try our vegan, organic plant food?
What size is it?
W12cm x H20cm
Looks great in our 14cm vibes pot
