How to Grow and Care

Dieffenbachia is also known as the 'Dumb Cane plant', which is derived from the unpleasant effect of my poisonous sap on the mouth and throat. It can reach 5 ft or more in height, but under normal room conditions, its leaves will fall to give a false palm effect.

Dieffenbachia grows best indoors as it needs moderate temperatures and humid environments. If you can’t provide these consistent conditions outside then you should keep it indoors, where you have greater control over the growing environments. Keep it in a shady spot and away from any doors or windows, which might cause draughts.

Dieffenbachia needs partial shade or diffused sunlight to grow well. This plant can tolerate full shaded conditions, but its best if you can find a spot for it where it receives a small amount of indirect lights.
