Light: Croton Mammy prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning sun or filtered light, but intense afternoon sun can scorch its leaves. In lower light conditions, the colors of the leaves may become less vibrant.
Watering: Water Croton Mammy moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. During winter or periods of dormancy, reduce watering frequency.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix designed for tropical plants or mix regular potting soil with perlite or sand to improve drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Fertilizing: Feed Croton Mammy with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows down.
Pruning and Maintenance: Remove any yellow or dead leaves regularly to encourage healthy growth and maintain its appearance. Pruning can also help control the plant's size and shape.
