Origin
The Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' is originally a tropical plant and belongs to the Araceae family. The Dieffenbachia genus originates from the rainforests of Central and South American countries such as Brazil and Colombia. This plant species is named after the Austrian botanist Joseph Dieffenbach.

Characteristics
The Dieffenbachia 'Camilla', also known as Dumb Cane, is a popular house plant due to its beautiful, decorative leaves. The plant is known for its large, shiny leaves with a striking white colour in the middle, surrounded by a green edge. It can reach a height of approximately one metre, but grows slowly, meaning it takes years for them to mature. The plant does not need much light and can also be placed in semi-shade.

Care
The care of the Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' requires some attention, but is generally easy. The plant should be watered regularly, ideally when the top layer of soil feels dry. Since the plant originates from a tropical environment, it has a preference for high humidity. Therefore, it is beneficial for the plant to be placed in a bathroom or kitchen environment, or to be regularly misted. However, it is important to avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn.
