They have alternate, simple leaves and white flowers with green stripes.
Caution: Dieffenbachia contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling if ingested. Keep it away from pets and children.
Appearance:
Foliage: Dieffenbachia plants have large, broad leaves that come in various patterns and shades of green, cream, and white. The leaves often feature striking variegation or mottling, making them visually appealing.
Size: Depending on the species and cultivar, Dieffenbachia can range in size from compact tabletop plants to larger floor-standing specimens.
Care Tips:
Light: They prefer moderate to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Dieffenbachia can also tolerate lower light conditions but may not grow as vigorously.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to maintain a balance.
Temperature: They thrive in average room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and are sensitive to cold drafts.
Humidity: While they can tolerate normal indoor humidity levels, higher humidity can promote healthier growth. Misting the leaves occasionally or using a humidifier can be beneficial, especially in drier environments.
Maintenance:
Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance.
Cleaning: Wiping the leaves gently with a damp cloth helps remove dust and keeps the foliage looking vibrant.
Repotting: Repot every couple of years to refresh the soil and provide space for growth.
Toxicity:
Caution: Dieffenbachia contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling if ingested. Keep it away from pets and children.
