Dieffenbachia

Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane) is a fast-growing houseplant with variegated leaves of quite large size. The leaves of Dieffenbachia are broad, elliptical, and can reach up to 20 inches in length. They are typically green with variegation patterns that range from white to yellow, giving them a marbled or mottled appearance. The stems are thick, cane-like, and can grow upright, supporting the large leaves. It grows in a bushy form with a central stem and radiating leaves. Over time, the lower leaves may fall off, leaving a more tree-like appearance. The striking variegated leaves add a tropical and exotic touch to interior spaces. Like many other houseplants, Dieffenbachia can help to purify the air by removing toxins. It is relatively easy to care for, making it a good choice for both novice and experienced plant owners.
