Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, this striking variety is admired for its twisted, corkscrew-shaped leaves and vibrant mix of green, yellow, orange, red and burgundy. As the foliage matures, the colours become even more intense, ensuring the plant provides year-round interest without the need for flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unusual curled foliage gives Croton Mammi a bold, sculptural appearance, making it an ideal statement plant for bright living rooms, conservatories, offices and hallways. Every leaf is unique, creating a dramatic display that instantly adds colour and character to your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Croton Mammi has a reputation for being slightly more demanding than some houseplants, it is highly rewarding when given the right conditions. Bright light, consistent watering and warm temperatures will encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Indoors, it typically grows to between \u003cstrong\u003e60–120cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, developing into a dense, bushy plant over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eCodiaeum 'Mammi' Care Guide\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCroton Mammi thrives in bright, indirect light and benefits from several hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sunshine. Plenty of light helps maintain the rich reds, oranges and yellows in the foliage. Plants kept in darker locations often produce greener leaves with less vibrant colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid exposing the plant to harsh midday summer sun, particularly through south-facing windows, as this can scorch the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWatering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the compost evenly moist, allowing the top 2–3cm to dry before watering again.
