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. You can keep crotons indoors as house plants all year long with the proper care. They fit into almost any room including kitchens, offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, or living rooms & add the pop of color your home decor needs!

When hardy enough to be grown outdoors in USDA growing zones 9-11, they look incredible when planted in garden beds as accent plants, incorporated into hedges, or planted into containers where the vibrant color can be seen.

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.

    Takes The Edge Off!
    This is a decent product. If you are going to do a lot of edging, or want to do deep trenching to run conduit, etc. this is NOT the product you want. It is electric, so you are tethered to an outlet, and of course, the farther you go on extension cords, the less of the 12 amp juice you get. It also trenches to 1 1/2", which is OK, but not enough to dump conduit, etc. That said, this is a very good edger. Out of the box, it is minimal assembly. You connect the three pieces of the shaft, removing some edge tape from it, and inserting two metal bolts and plastic knobs, similar to most lawn mowers these days. Then you install the plastic handle with another bolt. That's it. For use, you have a lever which you pull up for edging and lower for trenching to adjust the group clearance. You also choose 1", 1/4", or 1 1/2" depth. Then you plug it in. There is a white line on top of the blade cover so you know where the blade is. You just pull the trigger to run the blade, or release the trigger to stop the blade. Be careful not to lose sight of your electric cord so you don't hit it! I edged along my driveway, about 50' on each side, as well as my front of my lawn, so another 85' along the lawn and the apron (both sides). That's over 350'. It cut through the grass and dirt easily. It struggled a couple of times, on some tough mounds of grass, but like any other tool, you don't force it when that happens, just back up and do that area again slowly. If you come too close to blacktop, Belgian block, stone, etc. you will see sparks so you will know. Just keep in mind, this is an edger. You will be left with the severed grass/sod to remove. In my case I was loooong overdue for a edging, so I spent a long time scraping the sod off the pavement with a shovel. I expect with more frequent ending, and now working with a cleaner edge, this will be less of an issue. Either way, that is not on the product, but the state of the lawn. The edger has 2 read wheels and one smaller front wheel so , although this is not like a big, gas-powered curb jumping unit, you have the option of attacking a curb edge from either the blade side or other side of the edger, so you can get real close to a Belgian block curb. I also did the edge where my grass meets my mulched flower bed, but that was more of a trimming than a edge removal. Overall, the Work edger did as good, or better, a job than my string trimmer, and I didn't have to stop every few minutes to rewrap string. Plus it trenched enough to give me a definitive edge, whereas the string edger just cuts into the grass, not a real trench.

    Does the job!
    Puts in the work! Knocked out my driveway no problem. Unsure about longevity but it’s great for a homeowner. Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Adjustment is nice along with the guide plate.

    Easy to use for a clean looking cut!
    I do wish there was a cordless version but I'm so glad I bought this. It took some time to edge everything the first time because I had to cut the lines but it's been a breeze ever since. I just walk the perimeter of the yard and driveway and it does it's job with ease. The front wheel has three settings which determines how far down the blade cuts and the blade has two settings for edging or trenching. The handle is stationary but it can be lifted up or down. There's a guideline on top of the blade guard that helps identify where the blade is going to make the cut. TIP: Lean it back on the back wheels before pulling the trigger and slowly bring it down because it will jump if the blade isn't lined up and touches the concrete. It doesn't roll well in the grass but it's very smooth when rolled on the concrete. It's definitely worth having to give a clean and finished look. It's well built and isn't too heavy but definitely has some weight to it. It's only loud when the blade hits the concrete otherwise it sounds like a drone. The only complaint I have is that I have to watch the cord closely other than that it's the perfect tool to give a clean look to the yard.

    Great tool, well worth the money!
    I'm thrilled and pleased with the Worx edger. I bought it because it's electric, cheaper than other styles and I don't have to fool with a 2 stroke engine. I bought Worx, because it has a good guide to help me keep the blade away from the sidewalk, as well as a white mark on the housing to give a general idea of where the blade was. Also I thought it seemed to have a good engine. Now I'm sure it has a good engine. I looked at 3 other comparable trimmers, and because of the guide and engine, chose Worx. I read the 1 star reviews, many of the 5 star reviews and in between, as well as all the specifications I could. One of the competitors was attractive to me, but the 1 stars indicated there was a small tendency for the engine to quit. There were many less reviews for most of the models and many for that one, but I chose this one for the same amperage of engine, but less HP, which might, in my mind, over-work the engine which would account for it being ruined. One had a better warranty, but Amazon offered 2 more years for about $750, so I upgraded the warranty to 4 years,I have Tall Fescue grass in sandy loam soil in SE Wyo because of drought resistance, and it's a Northern grass). The grass is taller and tough as well as more in clumps. The ground probably is much easier to work than clay. The edger handled the tall grass ok, with all the clippings which had accumulated. I It was a long hard job to do the first trimming, and I was impressed with the 'Worx. I tried not to work it harder than necessary but it took more than 5 or 6 hours of work. I used the blade down almost to the long hole marker and had parts of 2 teeth left. It worked well; didn't clog; had power. Didn't ruin the engine. Didn't work me hard! I had to tighten the blade after about 10 feet, but only that once. In one area I had to run it on the wrong side, with the wheels on the grass. It worked ok, but worked much better where it was possible to put the wheels on the cement, and thus use the guide! It would be nice to be able to move the handle and the guide to the other side instead of the way I did it. The cord holder worked poorly for a 3 wire 12 gauge extension cord, but worked fine when I got out the smaller 14 g. The metal trimmer guide that helps hold the blade away from the side walk pulls up for use of the edger as a trencher. My lawn looks terrific. The blades were MUCH more expensive than the B & D; so before I bought Worx, I searched the internet and found an electric company which had a 3 pack of original equipment blades for it for $28, and on sale for $22. I scored on the tool, and on the blades! PTL!!

    Great but could be Epic
    If you’re looking for a solid edger for sidewalks and driveways, this is a great tool. It’s powerful, well-built, easy to assemble, and simple to use. For edging, I would definitely recommend it. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as a true trencher. I bought it for both purposes but mainly needed it for trenching. The maximum cutting depth is only about 1.5 inches, which isn’t deep enough for most garden borders or running cable. In my opinion, a real trencher should be able to reach at least 3 inches deep. The limitation comes down to the blade size and guard design. WORX could improve this model with a larger blade guard and additional wheel depth settings. If they released a version capable of 3–3.25 inch trenching depth, it would really stand out in the market. Overall, it’s an excellent edger, just not a true trencher.
