Croton Mammy
Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy'
Bring a Burst of Color Home with the Croton Mammy Plant
Add a vibrant, sculptural touch to your space with the Croton Mammy - a dazzling houseplant that's as easy to care for as it is striking to behold.
A Living Firework of Color
The Croton Mammy is nature's answer to indoor fireworks. Its dramatic, spiraled leaves showcase an explosion of brilliant colors - deep reds, vibrant oranges, golden yellows, and lush greens - reminiscent of fall foliage and festive firework displays. No two leaves are exactly alike, ensuring a dynamic and ever-changing appearance throughout the seasons.
Spiraled Elegance That Captivates
What sets the Croton Mammy apart is its unusual spiral growth pattern. The twisted, corkscrew-shaped leaves grow in all directions, giving the plant a sculptural presence that's perfect for adding bold flair to shelves, corners, and tabletops. It's a conversation starter and statement piece rolled into one.
Low-Maintenance, High-Impact
Don't be fooled by its dramatic look - the Croton Mammy is surprisingly easy to care for. This tropical beauty thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and only needs occasional watering. It's an ideal choice for both new plant parents and seasoned green thumbs looking to expand their collection with something vibrant and unique.
Occasional Blooms & Year-Round Interest
While its foliage is the main attraction, the Croton Mammy may reward you with delicate blooms when kept in warm and well-lit conditions. These small, star-like flowers are a charming bonus - but with such flamboyant leaves, flowers are just the icing on the cake.
A Plant with a Story
Native to tropical Asia and the Pacific Islands, Croton plants have been part of traditional medicine for centuries. In fact, croton seeds were once used to produce oil with purgative properties in herbal remedies - adding a historical dimension to this already intriguing houseplant.

Croton Mammy Care Guide
Light
I like really bright indirect light, and preferably 4-5 hours of sunlight each day, otherwise my colours will fade.
Water
Keep me moist but not sitting in water. You can mist me often.
Temperature
I like a warm, humid environment.
Feeding
Feed me with a low-nitrogen, slow-release fertilizer once in early spring and once again in summer.
Grooming
You will need to clean my leaves often so that my colors can be appreciated.
Care
When I get stressed I lose my leaves - if you've just brought me home, wait a few weeks to let me adjust. If I continue to lose my leaves, check that the air around me is not too dry and that I'm getting enough light.
