Petra
Petra, also known as Dieffenbachia ‘Petra’, is a striking and robust indoor plant admired for its vibrant, decorative foliage. Native to tropical regions of Central and South America, Petra features large, glossy leaves with bold patterns of green, cream, and yellow. The plant typically grows to about 3 to 6 feet in height, making it an excellent choice for adding lush, tropical appeal to indoor spaces. Petra thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light, though it can adapt to lower light conditions. Regular watering is essential, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Petra is also known for its low-maintenance nature and resilience, making it a popular choice for homes and offices. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer a selection of high-quality Petra plants to enhance your indoor environment with their striking beauty and easy care.
