# Hi! My Croton ‘Mammi’ is not happy! I have little experience with…

_Geplaatst door Kk op 2025-05-04_

Hi! My Croton ‘Mammi’ is not happy! I have little experience with plants but I know there is something wrong with it. The leaves are wilting and there are holes. Maybe it is the pot, but I don’t know! Please help me!

It looks under watered. They also like direct sunlight. This might be a different variety like a variegated croton, Croton Petra or Croton Pictum. Croton Mammi has thinner leaves. 🪴🍀

Oh! Thank you! That might be, it seemed like it needed more sun so I will leave it outside and go from there. I appreciate the help!

This is my croton mammi. She statted dropping leaves for the first month, but has grown about 5 or 6 new leaves since I gave her more light (grow lite). If you look t the lower stems, you can see all the spots the the leaves dropped.  
The leaves on mine definitely droop when it is under watered (it start wven if 1 am 1 day late). It perks up again within a few hours, or at most by morning.
