Plant details
Bold Color. Tropical Drama. Zero Apologies.
The Croton Mammy (Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy') is one of the most visually striking houseplants you can own. Its thick, glossy, corkscrew-curled leaves erupt in a kaleidoscope of deep red, orange, yellow, and green — a living work of art that commands attention in any room. No two leaves are identical, and no two plants are exactly alike.
If you've been looking for a plant that makes a statement without saying a word, the Croton Mammy is it.
Care Highlights
- Light: Bright indirect to direct light. The more light it receives, the more vibrant and saturated the colors become. A sunny windowsill is ideal.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Consistent moisture is key — avoid letting it dry out completely or sit in standing water.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for best results.
- Temperature: Thrives between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air vents, and sudden temperature changes.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A peat-based blend with perlite works beautifully.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

- Multicolored foliage in red, orange, yellow, and green
