Hello! I was gifted this plant for my office and was told it was a Gold Dust Croton. I looked it up and I don’t think that’s correct, does anyone know what it is? Thank you!!

It’s definitely some sort of croton. They love light and are thirsty babies but beautiful, enjoy!

Thank you for the heads up!

### plantgeek commented on 2026-04-30

this appears to be a "mammy" croton or a narrow-leaf.

It is such a beaut though!

I know! Such a kind gift!!

The gold dust I had was green with yellow spots all over it. I’ll go along with mammy. That’s what I have seen it called.

Planta told me gold dust, but mammy is definitely right, thank you for the advice!
