Discover Dieffenbachia: Easy, Elegant, and Poisonously Pretty! Known as the ‘dumb cane plant’ for its toxic leaves, Dieffenbachia is a popular choice for homes and offices alike, prized for its lush foliage marked in creamy whites and vibrant yellows. This tropical shrub thrives in medium to high light conditions, adding color and texture to any indoor space without the need for flowers. Keep its rich organic soil moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top few inches to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Perfect for brightening dim corners, just remember to keep it away from pets and children due to its toxicity.

Watering
Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.
