Hello guys!
Today I'll be talking about the croton petra plant.
Croton petra comes from the same family as the Croton Mammy(topic of my 1st blog post), which is the Euphorbiaceae family and Codiaeum genus; it is a shrub. It grows humid climates but can also grow indoors in the cooler climates. This plant is commonly used as a decorative house plant but its sap is very poisonous, so beware. However, the seeds have oil that can be made into cleansing medicine for the stomach.
Thats all for today! Thanks! Don't forget to comment down below!
