Croton ‘Mammy’ Brings You Stunning Multi-Colored Foliage

The Croton 'Mammy' stands out with its spectacular glossy multi-colored leaves, perfect for brightening up any indoor or outdoor setting.

The Mammy Croton (Codiaeum Varigatum) plant has multicolored leaves with hues of yellow, red, orange, purple, and green. The bright colorful leaves are unusual, sword-shaped, with linear growth habits that lean towards the light. The leaves are evergreen and will stay colorful all year long as they spiral around the trunk. It is a smaller species of the popular Petra Croton variety.

Croton Red Mammy plant is suitable for growing indoors or outdoors. Growers in colder climates can keep it in containers and move Croton Mammy indoors for winter when temperatures drop below 55 F.

They fit into almost any room including kitchens, offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, or living rooms & add the pop of color your home decor needs!

CROTON MAMMY CARE

The Crotons houseplants do need fertilizer annually that is applied in early spring and summer to help with growth and boost the beautiful colors that shine through the veiney leaves. It is not recommended to fertilize during fall and winter.

Croton watering is essential to keep the soil moist. Well draining soil is a must for these slow growing plants. If you are growing crotons in a pot, a drainage hole is necessary to avoid root rot. Water roughly once a week or whenever the potting soil feels dry to touch. Your watering schedule will vary depending on soil moisture, humidity, and temperatures.

There are no major Mammy Croton plant pest and disease issues and it is deer resistant.

How Much Sun Does a Croton Plant Need?

Crotons need a lot of bright sunlight. They are tropical plants native to India and require bright, direct light to thrive in warm, humid environments. A south or east facing window is best with plenty of full sun. If you are growing crotons outdoors, it can be in direct sunlight but harsh afternoon sun may scorch the leaves. They are not as sensitive as most and will grow towards the light wherever you plant them. Partial shade is best in hotter climates. The #1 sign your croton plant is not getting even sunlight is leaf drop.

How Big do Crotons Get?

The Mamey Croton height is up to 2-3 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide. It can be contained by regular pruning and shaped to any desired size. It’s perfect for growing in pots or small spaces in the garden. Mammy Croton spacing should be at least 1-2 feet apart to allow the root systems to grow to their fullest potential.

How to a Prune Croton Bush

It is not necessary to practice pruning on crotons unless it has become unruly and needs a trim. You can prune crotons at any time of the year but the very best time is in early spring before the active growing season begins. When pruning, be wary of the sap that leaks out of any pruning cuts. It can cause skin irritation. You may prune back dead leaves at any time to encourage new growth. Small pruning shears or scissors are your best tools for this practice.

*Disclaimer: Croton plants and cats do not mix well. Croton leaves are toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets so be sure to keep away and do not allow them to ingest any part of the potted plant.

    The cat didn't do it!
    Format: Mass Market Paperback
    I bought the book, because it looked so cute. Plus, I love cats! It was a cozy mystery with the cat as a constant companion of the protagonist. It made for a delightful story. I don't usually read low key mysteries, but I thoroughly enjoyed the humor, the cat, and the murder mystery. I plan on buying the next one. Ms. James has a writing style that you will enjoy her stories. You will not get bored.

    When A Mystery Writer's Death Becomes The Mystery
    Format: Kindle
    Charlie Harris is a part-time archival librarian for Athena College in Athena, Mississippi. In his late forties, the father of two grown children, and a widower for three years, Charlie is the proud human owned by a Maine coon cat named Diesel. Still grieving the loss of his wife, Charlie is not yet interested in dating and keeps himself politely at an emotional distance from everyone except Diesel. Coming into Charlie’s life about two years ago as a bedraggled kitten wandering the library parking lot, Diesel seems to have two particular affinities. He seems to understand the human language well beyond the sound of his own name or the phrase “Here, kitty kitty.” And he seems to sense and differentiate between human emotions, particularly sadness and anger, even when not verbally expressed. Weighing nearly 35 pounds and not yet fully grown, Diesel proudly sports a harness and leash and goes just about everywhere with Charlie. He openly seeks attention from everyone he meets but he gives back just as much or more after he “determines” the type of attention the human needs at the time. For all that we know about Diesel, we know very little about Charlie other than what I have already mentioned. The author never physically describes Charlie, not height or hair color, not weight or eye color, not anything. Since every other character is described as he or she enters the storyline, the absence of same for Charlie seems to be deliberate on the part of the author. Thus, each reader can visualize our main protagonist in whatever form fits or feels right at the time. While Charlie has eschewed emotional attachments since the nearly concurrent deaths of his wife and his favorite aunt, he rents out rooms to college students. As our story opens, one of the boarders, 18-year-old Justin Wardlaw, experiences three traumatic events in one day. First, he meets his previously unknown biological father for the first time. Secondly, the man he thought was his father strikes him in the face when he refuses to quit college and move back home. And, finally, he discovers the body of his biological father murdered in his hotel room. Godfrey Priest, the murdered man, is a best-selling author of violent thrillers that have a severely misogynistic overtone. A contemporary of Charlie, he grew up in Athena with a well-deserved reputation as a physical and emotional bully. Needless to say, there are many people in town with long memories and hardened hearts as far as Godfrey Priest is concerned, making no dearth of possible suspects. Miranda James does not portray Charlie as a suspect who must work to clear his own name. Nor does she portray him as one of those meddlesome types who feels he can do better than any police detective in existence. What she does is portray Justin as a good kid who has just been handed a very raw deal and is in dire need of help and adult support. Since Charlie is a well-respected research and archival librarian trained to find answers to oblique questions, he decides to lend those skills to Justin’s cause. And then there is the police detective, Kanesha Berry. Detective Berry is smart and intuitive but she has the people skills of a rock and the professional personality of the rattlesnake hidden under that rock. She is also the daughter of Charlie’s longtime housekeeper, Azalea. When Azalea asks Charlie to use his skills to help her daughter succeed in spite of herself, Charlie finds himself in the position of unofficial private investigator. James has written a solid first entry for her Cat in the Stacks series. The search for the murderer twists and turns as past deeds surface and motives multiply. Since the book is written from Charlie’s first-person POV, the reader knows no more than Charlie does at any time. And since the author writes the detective as a recalcitrant soul, fighting for control and against civilian assistance, the reader gets no help whatsoever from that quarter toward interpreting the information that Charlie gleans. Charlie makes mistakes, both intuitive and legal. Unlike what happens in many cozies, our protagonist immediately accepts responsibility, takes his lumps and makes a concerted effort to correct his behavior. And, unlike the progression in many cozies, he doesn’t figure out the murderer’s identity before the detective does. This novel has no obvious hook leading to another book. Nor does it end in a cliffhanger. But the murder of Godfrey Priest, and his investigation into it on Justin and Azalea’s behalf, changes Charlie. And on that point lies the premise of another book.

    Surprisingly Deep and Heartfelt
    Format: Paperback
    At first, when i started this book, i didn’t quite know how to feel about it. It’s pretty slow in the beginning, about 30 percent is just them being “hateful” towards each other while actively not trying to acknowledge the obvious physical and emotional chemistry between them. The more and more i flipped the pages, the more i fell in love!! Ryan is the epitome of the best book boyfriend you could imagine. He’s patient, kind and thoughtful. Although, at times, i thought he and Josie both were too judgmental of each other and what the other enjoyed to spend their free time reading. So what, he reads romance? And so what, she doesn’t read romance? But as we get deeper into their story, we realize they each had their own reasons for having their opinions. This story was surprisingly very insightful, loving and deep. Not too deep to where you’re contemplating your life choices, but deep in the sense that you will be thinking about these characters and their abilities to over come trauma and presumptions about themselves and their careers. With that being said, i think that Ryans employees, specifically indira, were way too judgmental. They saw for themselves how Ryan also treated Josie, and he typically was more rude to her than she was to him. Especially being women, reading romance and working at a romance store, they should know how it feels for people to be prejudice about a Genre they enjoy, and should be mindful and have told Ryan to be kinder. That being said…at times Josie was, i will say, a prude. Especially in the scene where ryan had her read “beach read” by Emily Henry Aloud and she texted RJ and said that women and men dont have intimate moments like that IRL. She was almost disgusted at the idea of having good, respectful and yet “mind blowing” s3x. I thought it was childish of her, honestly. You’re 30. Grow up. Georgia, her sister, was also too almoy judgmental of Josie and her trauma growing up with their mother. Especially for someone who was becoming a psychiatrist. She didn’t seem to take into account the things she dint see growing up, because Josie spent her time shielding her and protecting her from all the chaos. Other than that, that was the only few times this book pissed me off. All in all i’d give it a 4.5 out of ten!

    ​If you are looking for a book with excellent banter, easy-to-love characters, and a romance that will completely charm you, put this one on your TBR immediately! 📚✨ ​Let’s talk about the character dynamics because they absolutely stole the show for me: ​🛡️ The FMC: Josie Klein wears an emotional suit of armor and is a little rough around the edges when it comes to letting people in. If you love Ali Hazelwood’s FMCs, you will fully understand and adore Josie. Watching her walls come down was everything. ​🐾 The MMC: Absolute GOLDEN RETRIEVER energy. He is a big softie with a heart of gold, but—and this is the crucial part—he isn’t afraid to put his foot down when it matters. The perfect balance. ​The banter between these two was top-tier, and the entire setting had me hooked from start to finish. It’s an absolute 10/10 for me!

    Cute and predictable
    Format: Kindle
    Rom-com wrapped I’m a literary tote bag. The story was cute, predictable, but satisfying. Josie’s voice was cringy at times. Despite that, the characters are likable and everyone got their moment of closure. I’d give it one chile for spice.
