{"product_id":"croton-mammy-10-bag","title":"Croton Duck Foot - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eCroton Mammy (Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy') is a distinctive ornamental foliage plant known for its narrow, curling and twisting leaves brilliantly coloured in green, yellow, orange and red. This compact, eye-catching variety adds dramatic tropical texture and colour to indoor displays, balconies and gardens. Like other crotons, it colours best in bright light and prefers warm, humid conditions with steady moisture and good drainage. Croton Mammy thrives in India's tropical and subtropical climate but resents cold drafts and sudden changes, which cause leaf drop. Its sap is an irritant, so handle with care. It is grown purely for its bold, sculptural foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEuphorbiaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoutheast Asia and Pacific Islands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6-1.5 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5-0.9 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNarrow, curled, twisting multicoloured leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsignificant cream-white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRarely notable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical and subtropical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright filtered light;

avoid drying out or waterlogging, as both can cause leaves to drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sunlight does Croton Mammy need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs bright filtered light with some gentle direct sun; brighter light brings out its vivid leaf colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Croton Mammy safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Croton is toxic to dogs, cats and humans, and its milky sap irritates skin, so keep it away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Croton Mammy need repotting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, repot every 1-2 years in spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate Croton Mammy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake stem-tip cuttings, let the sap dry briefly, then root them in moist soil with warmth and humidity; air layering also works well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my Croton Mammy dropping leaves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaf drop is typically caused by cold drafts, sudden moves, or uneven watering. Keep it warm, stable, and consistently moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves losing colour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaded or greenish leaves indicate too little light.
