Codiaeum variegatum 'Mammy'

• Very showy foliage plant with woody growth.
• The oval leaves have slightly wavy edges and are splashed in artful patterns of bright green, yellow, orange, pink, and burgundy.
• Great specimen for a bright room.

Care:

• Light: Very bright with some direct sun (east, west, or south window). Direct hot afternoon sun may scorch the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top 30% of soil to dry between watering. Do not allow the pot to sit in water.
• Fertilizer: Use an all-purpose fertilizer such as Schultz Indoor Plant Food (10-15-10) once or twice monthly.
• Other tips: Does best in an undersized pot; use well-drained substrate such as Pro-Mix Tropical Plant Mix with extra perlite or small Orchiata bark added. Prefers higher humidity; leaves will brown if exposed to very dry air such as from a heat register. Mist frequently or use a humidifier if necessary.
