Dieffenbachia

Hard working leaves with impressive leaf patterns

If you prefer something predictable then you shouldn’t bother with the Dieffenbachia. Take a look at those patterns on the leaves in different shades of green, soft yellow and even white. You could look at them for ages couldn’t you? Very relaxing. But the Dieffenbachia does even more for your health…

Air purifying as second nature

Those lovely Dieffenbachia leaves aren’t lazy. They work hard to purify the air around them. Want to feel better? Why don’t you get a Dieffenbachia for your desk? Be careful though: the sap which comes out of the plant is poisonous, so make sure no children or animals can get near it. Also wear gloves when you re- pot it in the spring.
