Dieffenbachia Camille 'Dumb Cane'

Dieffenbachia Camille is one of the most striking large-leafed houseplants you can bring home. Its broad, glossy leaves are a beautiful combination of creamy white and pale yellow at the center fading to deep green at the edges — bold, tropical, and genuinely impressive at full size. It grows quickly, fills space beautifully, and brings an instant lush, jungle feel to any room.

Good for beginners? Yes. Dieffenbachia is adaptable, fast-growing, and forgiving of imperfect conditions. It is one of the easiest large tropical plants to grow indoors.

Safe for cats and dogs? Dieffenbachia is toxic to pets and humans if the sap is ingested or contacts skin. Keep out of reach of children, cats, and dogs.

Light needs: Medium to bright indirect light produces the best leaf color and fastest growth. It tolerates lower light better than many large tropicals but growth slows and leaves become smaller. Avoid direct sun.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them glossy. Rotate the pot periodically for even growth. Wear gloves when handling as the sap can irritate skin.
