Here are some quick tips to care for your Croton Mammy:
Light
To keep the bright colours of the leaves, keep in full bright sunlight or bright indirect light. Keep an eye out for the leaves burning if in full sun and adjust as needed.
Water
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry to the touch, keeping the soil moist but not soaked. Never allow the soil to dry completely. If the leaves begin to brown, it may be a sign of overwatering.
Soil

The Croton is sensitive to extreme temperatures and loves high humidity. Keep near a humidifier or by the bathroom, and mist your plant regularly.
