Dieffenbachia 'Compacta'

dumb cane

Product Image
A popular, compact and decorative houseplant for those who love fancy foliage. ‘Compacta’ has a strong white variegation, streaking the middle of each vivid green leaf, fading out to a dappled pale-yellow towards the outermost edges. This Dieffenbachia is a great, air-purifying, low maintenance choice for offices - or other low-light environments.

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.

How to care for Dieffenbachia Compacta:

Keep well watered during the growing season (less so in winter) and mist it 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.
