Dieffenbachia 'Camille' (Dumb Cane)
Dieffenbachia 'Camille'
Creamy yellow leaf centers with a crisp green edge.
About This Botanical
Dieffenbachia 'Camille' is a compact dumb cane with leaves that are mostly creamy yellow in the center and edged in solid green. It grows upright on a thick stem and stays bushier than the older, taller types, so it fits on a floor stand or a wide table.
It's an easy plant. Medium to bright indirect light keeps the variegation strong, and you water when the top inch of soil is dry. It leans toward the window, so turn the pot every couple of weeks. Wear gloves when you trim it, because the sap can irritate skin and mouths.
Nursery-pot sizes ship in the grower's plastic pot. Choose a planter option and the plant arrives already potted in it.
Care card
- Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Low light fades the cream.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry.
- Mature size: About 2 to 3 feet tall indoors.
- Pets: Dieffenbachia is toxic to dogs and cats. Keep it out of reach.

“Why are the lower leaves on my dieffenbachia turning yellow?”
Losing an old bottom leaf now and then is normal. Several at once usually means the soil stayed wet too long. Let the top inch dry before you water again.
