Dumb Cane 'Tropic Snow'
Dieffenbachia seguine 'Tropic Snow'
Mighty air purifiers and patterned leaves that will keep you staring in awe for hours!
The common name really doesn't suit this wonderfully patterned tropical plant. Dumb? We think not. As for its Latin name, this Brazilian native was brought to Europe by Austrian explorer Joseph Dieffenbach in the 19th century. It likes a bright spot but not direct sun and likes moist soil but not soggy.
I might be called a Dumb Cane, but I'm not dumb-looking. I have big, tear-shaped leaves, normally flecked with yellow.
Growing pot size: 24cm
Overall plant height including growing pot: 80-90cm
Pets: Keep away from nibbly pets
Fact: I'm great for your lungs as I help to purify the air!
Care Instructions
Light
I prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate light shade. Lower light levels reduce the rate of growth and dull my leaves, but direct sunlight will scorch them.
Water
When the top inches of my soil start to dry out, give me a drink, but don't overwater me.
Temperature
My ideal temperature is between 18-24°C but I can cope with as low as 10°C for short periods. Keep me away from draughts.
Feeding
I'm not too hungry, so will only want a weak dose of fertiliser during growing season.
Toxicity
I'm quite poisonous, so keep me away from kids and pets.
Grooming
Wipe my leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust.
Care
If I'm growing too tall, or looking a bit unkempt, trim my stems with sharp shears.
