How To Care for Dieffenbachia Tropic Marina

Sunlight requirements

Prefers bright, indirect light to keep those creamy patterns distinct. It can handle lower light spots better than most variegated plants, though it might grow a bit slower.

Watering requirements

Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry. It likes moisture but hates "wet feet," so good drainage is essential. If the lower leaves start turning yellow and dropping, you might be overdoing the water.

Fun Fact

This plant is commonly known as "Dumb Cane." It earned this nickname because its sap contains crystals that can cause temporary swelling of the tongue and throat if chewed, making it difficult to speak—so definitely keep it away from curious puppies and toddlers!
