Codiaeum variegatum (Croton) 'Mammi'

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' is a compact croton selection with elongated leaves that curl, twist and spiral as they mature. The foliage carries green, yellow, orange, red and purple tones in a dense curled canopy on woody upright stems.

In a pot, Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' grows as a bushy tropical shrub. Its twisted leaves build a dense crown even on younger plants, while older stems can be shaped in spring to keep fresh growth closer to the base.

Recognisable traits of Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi'

  • Elongated leaves with curled and twisted form
  • Multicoloured foliage with green, yellow, orange, red and purple tones
  • Compact shrub habit suited to containers
  • Dense canopy on upright woody stems
  • Branches after shaping once established

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' twisted growth

Codiaeum variegatum is a wet-tropical evergreen shrub or small tree in Euphorbiaceae, native from Malesia to the southwest Pacific. The species has been selected widely for leaf colour, blade shape and growth habit. 'Mammi' is also encountered in horticultural references under the spelling 'Mammy' or 'Mammie'.

The curled leaf form needs steady moisture, warmth and humidity while the blades expand. Root stress, dry air or pest pressure can show as uneven new leaves, particularly during active shoot growth. A warm, stable position reduces shedding and uneven leaf expansion indoors.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' warmth and root care

  • Light: Provide very bright filtered light. Acclimate gradually to direct sun so the curled leaves develop cleanly.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate begins to dry. The curled narrow leaves show drought stress quickly, so keep moisture regular during active growth.
  • Substrate: Use a fertile, open mix with bark, organic matter and mineral drainage. Good airflow around the roots is essential.
  • Temperature: Keep above 15 °C, with stronger growth from 18–28 °C. Cold floors, open windows and draughty halls can cause shedding.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity reduces crisping during leaf expansion. Dry air often coincides with crispy edges and spider mite pressure.
  • Feeding: Apply a light fertiliser dose during the warm growing months. Hold back after relocation stress or while the plant is growing slowly.
  • Pruning: Prune leggy stems in spring to encourage a denser crown. Cut above a healthy node and protect hands from sap.
  • Repotting: Repot once the roots fill the pot, ideally during active growth. Keep the new container only slightly wider.
  • Propagation: Propagate by warm stem cuttings or air layering to preserve the curled cultivar form.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' troubleshooting notes

  • Uneven new curls: Check watering, humidity, root condition and pests during leaf expansion. Correct the cause before the next flush develops.
  • Sudden shedding: Look for cold exposure, recent movement or a sharp moisture swing. Keep conditions steady while the plant rebuilds.
  • Spider mite damage: Fine stippling and dull leaves are early signs. Inspect folded and curled surfaces carefully.
  • Limp stems or blackened roots: Check for waterlogged substrate. Refresh into an airier mix if roots are damaged.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' toxicity and safety

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' is not pet-safe. The sap may irritate skin and eyes, and ingested plant parts can irritate the mouth and digestive tract. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and clean tools after cutting.

Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammi' etymology and botanical background

'Mammi' sits within the accepted species Codiaeum variegatum (L.) Rumph. ex A.Juss. in Euphorbiaceae. Codiaeum is linked to the Ternate vernacular name kodiho, and variegatum refers to variegated foliage.

Perfect for dry mouth!
I suffer from extreme dry mouth due to sleep apnea and side effects of medications. I used to gargle with mouthwash made for dry mouth before going to bed but it would wear-off by morning.. I’d awaken with severe cotton mouth! What’s worse is my mouth gets dry during the day when I’m out and can’t gargle. It’s so bad I can barely talk! Thank goodness for these melts!! They are GREAT! They stick easily to your gums or roof of your mouth and stay there! They slowly dissolve over night and I wake up without cotton mouth! I keep some in my purse for daytime. They’re better than lozenges or hard candy because they’re discrete. You don’t want to give a speech and be seen sucking on a candy! I use them so often that I was THRILLED to find them in the 100 quantity bottle at a lower price than I could find anywhere else! Protect your oral health and get these pleasant mint tasting melts for your dry mouth!

No more dry mouth at night!
These stick to your gums and keep your mouth moist all night. This makes it easier for me to sleep. I got them on the recommendation of my dental hygienist and have been getting better checkups since I started using them. It keeps your mouth moist which retards the growth of germs.

Great product
These are excellent. They work very well and help ensure a good night's sleep without a dry mouth. Ans the taste is good, unlike Berry Smoothie which is absolutely disgusting.

good deal
they work very well - for most of the night. However, cause throat congestion late in the night.
