The Mammy Croton plant is a vivid and colourful ornamental plant. It has long, thick, and colorful leaves that twist as it grows. The beauty of this plant can change an area from boring to exciting and it is a fairly easy plant to grow.
The Crotons are small, beautiful and unique shrubs that typically stay small to medium-sized, with an average height of 900cm. It has a slow growth rate that can take several years to reach its full size. Crotons are native to the tropical regions of Africa & Asia so it prefers warm, humid climates. Croton plants require a minimum of four hours of sun exposure per day. Light exposure should be bright but indirect. Not enough sun will cause the leaves to lack variegation.
