Hailing from the tropics, Dieffenbachia boasts an array of stunning perennials that have captured the hearts of houseplant enthusiasts. Their leaves, adorned with striking patterns, intermingle shades of green, cream, and white to create a mesmerizing display. In ideal conditions, these majestic plants can soar to a remarkable 10 feet while showcasing leaves as long as 20 inches. Despite their potential for grandeur, dieffenbachias are more likely to achieve modest heights of 3 to 5 feet when raised indoors.
Known for their impressive growth rate, dieffenbachias can stretch to an impressive 2 feet within a year after being planted as a rooted cutting, given sufficient light. Though no longer referred to as "dumb cane" due to its unkind implications, the plant earned this nickname from the toxic nature of its roots and sap. When in contact with the face or ingested, these toxins can impair speech, posing severe risks to humans and their furry companions alike.
