Common names: dieffenbachia,
dumb cane
Description: Dieffenbachias are popular foliage
plants because they withstand an indoor environment better
than most plants. They are about 2 1/2 -feet tall but
can grow to 4 or 5 feet. Leaves can be up to 18 inches
long and 1 foot wide.
Special care: Provide bright, indirect light. Make
sure the plant receives more light in winter. Water plants
thoroughly. Allow the soil to dry slightly before watering
again. Do not allow plants to stand in water. Exercise
caution with children or pets because plant sap can cause
irritation of the mouth tissues.
