Description
Dieffenbachia is a classic indoor foliage plant prized for its large, patterned leaves that feature shades of green, cream, and yellow. It grows upright with a strong central stem, making it perfect as a floor or corner plant. Native to the tropics, it adapts easily to indoor environments and thrives in filtered light.
This plant instantly livens up dull spaces and is a favourite in offices, living rooms, and shaded balconies. It’s also known for its air-purifying qualities. Just handle it with care—while it’s beautiful, the sap can be mildly irritating to skin or pets, so place it out of reach of children and animals.
