  • I saw this Dieffenbachia at least a year before I was able to get one myself. I particularly loved the Aglaonema pictum 'Tricolor' style look of this, even though Dieffenbachia aren't one of my favorite plants. They tend to grow a little "caney" but this one has stayed relatively stable for me. It's #301 in "365 Days of Plants".
    In this video I'll discuss where it is originally native to, where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing.
    You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

    I collect and grow Dieffenbachia from the wild. It's amazing the natural variation!

    A dumb cane is as classic as a pothos. A true timeless plant.

    I had mine for about 2 years now (not more than 3) and I fell in love when I saw it. I found mine in Lowe's and they were all in a 8-10 inch pot. I don't normally buy plants that big b/c I have limited space. As we know there are always exceptions to the rules (lol). Thank you for your video. I feel like this diffenbachia does not get the love it deserves.

    I like this one and I think it might be underappreciated for its leaf markings. It's on my list :)

    I have this and it’s a fave. Thanks for the warning on its tendency to get “stemmy”. Mine are still young so I’ll move them to a little lower light.

    I love this Dieffenbachia and when I find it will probably grab it. I have the common one, and wondered if I cut off the tops and tried rerooting them I could have a fuller plant, thanks for the info on this beauty, now I am going to try propagating mine. Thank you Summer, as always you have so much useful information that I truly appreciate. See you soon, bye for now.

    I was thinking of getting one. The one I saw at my local nursery had a lot of the lime green spots or splashes on a deep background. I imagine light conditions would affect the amount of variegation it gets. Thankyou for this video it was very helpful

    The Reflector Is One Of The Dieffenbachia That I Feel A NEED For!!! I WOULD Want IT To Look Like The One You Showed Us. I Am Such A #FoliageFiend!!! The Dieffenbachia Like SO Many Others Is REALLY Coming Out With Some LOOKERS...I Mean US #PlantLovers Just DON'T Stand A Chance!!!

    Is this similiar to the Camouflage Dieffenbachia in the sense of them becoming "stemmy?" My Camouflage is bushing out into too many different directions.
