Origin
The Dieffenbachia 'Crocodile', sometimes known as 'Leopard Lily', originates from Central and South America. The Dieffenbachia genus is named after the Austrian botanist Johann Karl Ignaz von Dieffenbach. In their natural habitat, these plants generally grow in the shady undergrowth of tropical rainforests.

Characteristics
Typical characteristics of the Dieffenbachia 'Crocodile' are the long, narrow leaves with the unmistakable spotted green and white patterns, reminiscent of a crocodile skin. The plant can reach a height of 60 to 90 cm. The leaves are large, ornamental and glossy. During the growing period, the plant sheds its lower leaves to make space for new ones.

Care
Caring for the Dieffenbachia 'Crocodile' is relatively straightforward. The plant requires bright, indirect light and moist soil. It is important to water the plant regularly, but not excessively, as this can cause root rot. The optimum temperature for the Dieffenbachia 'Crocodile' is between 18°C and 23°C. It is also recommended to water the plant less during the winter months.
