The Mammy Croton is a vibrant tropical plant known for its twisted, curled leaves and bold color palette. Its glossy foliage features shades of deep green splashed with bright yellow, orange, red, and sometimes even purple, creating a dramatic display that changes with age and light exposure. The unique spiral shape of its leaves sets it apart from other croton varieties, giving it a sculptural, eye-catching presence.
This croton thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vivid colors and compact, bushy form. It prefers warm temperatures and benefits from added humidity, making it ideal for bright kitchens, bathrooms, or areas near a humidifier. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top inch to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, as crotons can be sensitive and may drop leaves if stressed.
With its swirling foliage and fiery hues, the Mammy Croton brings bold tropical energy to any indoor space and serves as a stunning accent plant.
Pet Safety: Not pet safe. Crotons are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
