The Dieffenbachia is also know as Dumb Cane and is one of the most common
houseplant. It is easy to care for and, most importantly, poisonous. Some
foliage may be all green, cream with green borders or a mix between the two.
Dieffenbachia requires moist soil, so needs to be watered frequently. You
may also place a tray under the pot with water in it to help in keeping the
plants soil moist at all times. Daily misting will help to provide the high
humidity levels that this plant demands.
Ideally place between5 to 8 feet of a window, but will
survive lower light levels. Avoid drafts.
The Dieffenbachia contains a toxic sap thus giving the name
Dumb Cane, so please keep out of reach of children or animals that may try and
eat the plant.
