Dieffenbachia - Dumb Cane

With its vibrant foliage, Dieffenbachia brings a touch of tropical beauty to any space! These plants prefer warm, bright conditions, and should only be watered when the top half or so of the potting mix has dried out.

Dieffenbachia gains its common name, the dumb cane, from the toxins within all parts of the plant, which cause the mouth and tongue to swell, leaving you unable to speak. This plant is safe to touch and brush past, as it is toxic only when eaten.
