Dieffenbachia Compacta (Tropical Snow or Alfredo) - 6'' from California Tropicals

A Dieffenbachia is a lush, tropical plant known for its striking, variegated foliage. It features large, oval leaves that can grow up to 18 inches long, showcasing a beautiful mix of green and cream or yellow patterns. The green is usually a rich, deep shade, while the lighter areas often take the form of splashes or streaks across the leaf.

• Leaf Texture and Color: The thick leaves are smooth, almost glossy, giving them a vibrant, fresh appearance. The patterns are irregular, with each leaf displaying a unique mix of green and cream.
• Size: When mature, Dieffenbachia can reach around 3-5 feet tall indoors, making it a standout in indoor garden spaces.
• Growth Habit: This Dieffenbachia grows upright, with a single main stem supporting the arching leaves, which can create a bushy, tropical look when multiple stems are planted together.
• Care: It's relatively easy to care for, requiring indirect, bright light for the best color development, although it can tolerate lower light conditions (albeit with slower growth). Regular watering is needed, but it’s essential to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings.
• Safety: Their sap can be irritating if ingested or if it comes into contact with the skin, so it's best to keep it out of reach of pets and children.
