Croton 'Mammy'

Croton 'Mammy'

$25.00

Croton ‘Mammy’ is pure personality—tight, twisted leaves in a riot of color, from deep green to bright yellow, orange, and red. A cultivar of Codiaeum variegatum, it brings a bold, almost tropical energy to a space. The curled foliage gives it a sculptural, slightly wild look, while the saturated colors make it feel like living decor. This is not a background plant—it’s the one that steals the scene.

Insider Tips

  • Color intensity is directly tied to light—more light, more drama
  • Expect some leaf drop if you move it or change conditions (it’s sensitive)
  • Keep placement consistent—this one doesn’t love change
  • Wipe leaves occasionally to keep colors vibrant

Care Tips

Light

Bright, indirect light to some direct sun is ideal. It needs strong light to maintain its vivid coloring—too little light will dull the leaves.

Water

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings—don’t let it fully dry out.

Care

Prefers higher humidity and warm temperatures. Avoid drafts and sudden changes in environment. Use a well-draining potting mix and feed regularly during the growing season to support its colorful growth.
