Description
Dieffenbachia Tricolor
 
Habit
Upright, bushy growth habit with large leaves produced along thick, cane-like stems. Plants become taller and fuller as they mature.
 
Growth Rate
Moderate to fast under warm, bright conditions.
 
Placement
Best suited to a tabletop or plant stand while young, with larger plants eventually working well as floor plants.
 
Leaf Size
Medium to large leaves with bold green, cream and lighter green patterning that gives the foliage its distinctive camouflage or army-print appearance.
 
Light
Medium to bright indirect light is ideal. Brighter light helps maintain stronger colour and patterning in the foliage.
 
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry well before watering again. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nursery’s Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Moderate feeder during active growth. Regular feeding supports stronger growth and larger leaves. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient. Higher humidity can help keep the large foliage looking its best.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering. Older lower leaves may naturally yellow and drop as the plant grows taller.
 
Pet Safe
No. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause significant irritation if chewed or ingested by pets.
 
Rays Says
"Dieffenbachia Tricolor is all about that camouflage foliage. Give it good light to keep the patterning looking strong, let the soil dry properly between waterings and feed regularly while it’s actively growing. It’s an easy way to add a bit more pattern without needing a fussy plant."
