Origin
The Dieffenbachia mix is a tropical plant that originates from Central and South America, specifically the forests of Brazil. This plant belongs to the Araceae family and is also known by the name Dumb Cane.

Characteristics
The Dieffenbachia mix is characterized by its large, broad and glossy leaves with a varied pattern of different shades of green and cream white, making it a popular choice for interior decoration. The plant can reach up to 2 meters in height and the leaves can reach a length of up to 50 centimetres. Another characteristic is that the Dieffenbachia blooms, but this blooming is quite rare and the green flowers are often not very noticeable.

Care
Caring for a Dieffenbachia mix requires some attention. The plant likes a warm, light spot but not direct sunlight. The soil should always be slightly moist, but must not become saturated. In dry periods, the plant’s leaves will curl, which is a sign that the plant needs more water. During the winter period, the plant can stand somewhat drier and needs less water than in the summer. Lastly, it is important to mention that the Dieffenbachia is sensitive to drafts, so try to avoid these.
