Croton Mammy
Codiaeum variegatum ‘Mammy’ takes everything you love about the classic Croton Petra, but twisted into an even funkier form! The Mammy Croton plant has curling, sword-shaped, multicolored leaves with yellow, red, orange, purple, and green hues.
You can grow this unique plant indoors or outdoors as long as you have the proper climate! The plant’s unique form and range of colors make it the perfect fit for a range of styles and home designs.
Ideal care practices for this tropical plant include bright indirect light and a well-draining soil medium. Unlike many plants, which prefer the soil to dry completely between waterings, the Mammy is catered to a more humid lifestyle and enjoys consistently moist but not soggy soil.
When hardy enough to be grown outdoors in USDA growing zones 9-11, the Croton Mammy looks gorgeous in containers, mixed flower beds, and as a focal point in a garden! This bright-colored plant enjoys full sun and moist soil.
