10" Croton Mammey

Mammy does well in partial shade to full sun. For the best leaf color, some direct sun and bright light are essential.

An excessive amount of shade causes the leaves to drop on the lower portions of the plant.

When kept as a houseplant, a southern or western window is preferred for the most abundant light.

Be sure to provide some protection from the direct rays of the sun magnified through the glass as too much sun can cause leaf scorch.

As tropical plants, Croton Mammy prefers a high humidity setting so don’t allow the plant to dry out.

Growing as a  houseplant, set the pot on a pebble tray filled with water to improve humidity levels immediately around the plant.

Regular watering is essential, do not overwater.
