Dieffenbachia, commonly known as Dumb Cane, is a popular tropical foliage plant admired for its large, lush leaves and beautiful variegated patterns. Its broad leaves feature attractive combinations of green, cream, and light yellow, making it a striking decorative plant for homes, offices, and indoor spaces. With its bold foliage and upright growth, Dieffenbachia adds a fresh, vibrant, and elegant touch to any interior.

Dieffenbachia thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate partial shade, making it easy to grow indoors.
