A tropical looking house plant with colourful foliage. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: general-purpose potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately cm (+ or - 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose an 10.5cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot Each creamy white leaf of this dieffenbachia has an irregular bright green margin, which gives them a distinctive two-tone appearance - and as they can grow to 40cm in length, they help create a lush, tropical effect. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Keep well watered during the growing season (less so in winter) and mist regularly with water to maintain humidity. If the leaves start to get dusty, they can be washed occasionally - either by using a damp cloth or popping it under the shower. Avoid draughts, maintain temperatures above 15°C in winter and repot in spring.
