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.

Works well
Color: Silver
The stainless steel caddy quality is fine, the sticker was easy to install on the inside of my stainless steel sink. I initially used the small movable arm to hang on the hooks, and it did not keep the caddy in place. Anytime it was hit, it fell off or tilted off the hooks. Customer service followed up with me on my purchase, gave me the correct instructions with a picture, and I was able to snap the caddy into the hooks. They were responsive, listened to my concerns and answered my questions, and now it works great. I would recommend this.

It doesn’t take up so much space
Color: Silver
This is perfect for my use. I did have to place the sticker on it to hold it in place. I have a Blanco sink which isn’t smooth.

Negative reviews are misleading it definitely works just fine.
Color: Silver
Noticed the only negative reviews were because the hooks would not fit and was sort of concerned about that, but I figured it might be one of those things where it’s the person’s fault not the product. Sure enough it was. The hook fits, yea you have to push it in there with a slight bit of force, but it definitely does fit. What those people don’t realize is that by design the hooks are like that to keep a firm hold onto the tray itself. I found it funny how mad people were about that when really it’s very very simple to make it work. Nice product sticks well, seems sturdy.

Good product, lousy instructions
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
This is a good product with terrible instructions. I’ve used this adhesive strip before so I know how to install the basket & how to remove the strip. To get a snug fit position one of the basket's vertical wires in the middle of one of the horizontal bars then press down hard until you hear it snap into place, it’s now snug & will not tip over. To remove the adhesive strip I used a putty knife & wiggled it underneath the strip until I had loosened & lifted enough of it to get a good grip & pull the rest off. Mine is installed on a ceramic tile back splash not in the sink so this method did not damage the tile, can't say what it would do to stainless steel. I'm a 72 y/o woman with arthritis, if I can get the adhesive off anyone can.

Works well, but very difficult to remove!
Color: Silver
Perspective: Ive had this caddy for 3 years and it has suited me well. Over time the hooks that hold the caddy in place loosened and the caddy would occasionally fall off the side of the sink wall. Not a huge deal, just a small inconvenience. Over time it started to happen more often because the plastic hooks completely lost their grip so I decided to replace it. Well it literally took me 3 days to get it off of the side of my sink. Using different tools to jimmy it off because the adhesive is sooo strong (which is a good thing, until you are looking to remove it). It took a razor blade and several bouts of goo gone to get the whole thing off as well as the leftover adhesive. The fact that it lasted for 3 years is a testament that it is a good product, but it lost several stars for the drama and pain and suffering it took to remove. I wont be buying another one.
