Dieffenbachia or Dumb Cane plants, native to the tropics of Mexico and all the way south to Argentina, are relatively easy-care houseplants with large, broad, patterned, oblong leaves. They can be table plants or 5ft trees depending on the variety.
The large and showy dieffenbachia can be the perfect living decoration for the home or office. When you learn how to care for a dieffenbachia plant, youâll find it to be adaptable to different kinds of lighting and conditions in which you might not expect a dieffenbachia houseplant to grow. In general, dieffenbachias are fast-growing houseplants that tend to get top heavy if not properly pruned. All parts of a dieffenbachia are extremely poisonous which is how they earned the nickname âdumb cane plantâand should be kept away from pets and children.
