Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight... Every leaf pattern is unique in this beautiful vibrant variety, speckled and freckled with white over contrasting bands of lime green and dark green. Dieffenbachias are relatively easy plants to look after and will give you a lush jungly look to your lounge room. Not a plant for homes with curious pets and small children - the common name dumbcane comes from the plant sap's numbing qualities if eaten - but otherwise harmless.
